A new book from the author of the novels "Buttons" and "Let It Be Me" by Ida Martin. A story about school years filled with riddles and secrets—those that come out and begin to live their own lives. For the eleventh-graders Alice and Ksyusha, the graduation exams are right around the corner, but when spring is in the air and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation of love, thinking about studying is the last thing they want. The girls make their own ranking of male beauty, dream of becoming journalists, and look for dresses for graduation. Ksyusha doesn’t know which of the boys to choose, while Alice writes back to a mysterious admirer under the nickname Goodwin. Nothing unusual seems to be happening—only, behind Alice’s fiery love confessions she clearly senses a looming threat. Who is Goodwin? A close friend? A classmate? A teacher? She needs to find out urgently before something irreversible happens. But that isn’t so easy, because love blinds, and a sudden fight with a friend threatens to turn into tragedy.
