When Meredith has to go home and look after her dad, she finds a lot more than she was expecting in this bright and funny novel of self-discovery. Meredith does things for other people. She irons clothes for her boyfriend, she attends her ex-best friend s horrendous hen party for her brother (who s about to marry the girl) and she moves back to her parents house to look after her dad when his leg is broken. She s a good girl and that matters. But when she gets back home, all is not as Meredith remembered. Especially Scott, that geeky teenager from her old class at school. He s definitely different now. And so, it seems, is she. One by one, her family and old friends start to tell her some home truths and Meredith begins to realise she s not so perfect after all. Maybe it s time she stopped being everyone else s girl and started living for herself
