Teenage Janine’s life spirals out of control
as a result of her unplanned pregnancy and her complex relationships
with her boyfriend and family.
When her boyfriend Matt leaves for a ski holiday,
she struggles with her feelings of abandonment, caves in to
the pressures, hits rock bottom...
SCREWED is also a sport’s story focusing on
Matt’s love of skiing and seeking adventure. Matt tells it
like it is as he lives for the thrill, risks, and danger of
skiing on the edge, something that his girlfriend just does
not understand. Matt treats life light heartedly and with
humour. He’s child-like in his outlook and strives to live
life to the fullest.
How will Janine cope – and will Matt be there
for her?
SCREWED is an edgy novel, with both male and
female points of view about teenage pregnancy. It’s also about
taking responsibility, making choices and gaining control.
