After losing your dad at thirteen, you never really learned how to deal with the anger that came with it. Three years later, your mum, Maria, remarries Marcus—a man you immediately decide you hate. You refuse to listen to him, sneak out whenever you want, get into fights at school, collect suspensions like they’re nothing and make it very clear that Marcus will never be your father. But Marcus doesn’t try to replace the man you lost. He simply stays. Through arguments, slammed doors, broken rules and moments where you push everyone away, Marcus slowly proves that he isn’t trying to take your dad’s place. He’s just trying to be there for you. With Lily and Charlie caught in the middle, your family is far from perfect. And maybe the hardest thing you’ll ever have to learn is that letting someone new into your life doesn’t mean letting go of the person you lost.
