Glasgow. 2007. Emo culture is thriving, but fifteen-year-old Cathy O’Kelly’s world couldn’t be more insular.It’s her first day at high school. Bullied out of primary, she’s got a new start after two years being taught at home by her Mammy.She’s dreaming of getting the marks she needs to be a proper Scots writer and avoiding getting on the wrong side of the neds.Again. But her bully doesn’t wear a tracksuit. Mark’s a third year in an oversized hoodie and Converse.A poet. Or so he wants to be. When he learns of Cathy’s dream, he’s makes it his mission to tear it down — and win her admiration. Will a chance encounter with a punk band at Glasgow’s seminal underage club save her? Or will a different kind of bully push Cathy further into herself?
