When Shirin bumps into Kian at a house party in Brixton, she is taken aback by the feelings that resurface. They last saw one another ten years ago as sixteen-year-olds at school in Hull. And the weight of everything left unsaid since then still hangs between them. But now they're back in each other's lives, it's harder to run from the past. There's nothing worse than losing the person you trust with your deepest secrets. Can it be different second time around? People Change is a moving and thought-provoking exploration of two people overcoming the past, re-finding each other and discovering their place in the world. __________________________________ Praise for People Change: 'People Change is simply brilliant - unflinching, and completely captivating' Beth Reekles 'This book expresses so many different types of love, and the affirmation we find in the deep truths of ourselves.
