Produktbeschreibung

Seventeen-year-old Alex is on holiday in Marshall Bay, turning girls' heads every time he strolls down to the beach for a surf. He's smart, rich and good-looking, so it's seriously not cool when he meets a girl who wants to keep him firmly in the friend zone. Besides, being friends with Jill means hanging out in her world - which couldn't be more different from his. Jill has made her mind up - no boyfriends until she's older and she's sure she has met her future husband. Not even the attentions of the dreamy Alex can sway her from that plan. But being just friends turns out to be more complicated than she thought. Five years later Alex is well on his way to his dream career, when a devastating diagnosis threatens everything on which his confidence depends. Suddenly faced with his own mortality, it is reconnecting with Jill and a world beyond his experience that will help him see a way forward. "Alex on the Edge" is a contemporary coming-of-age story set in South Africa and Lesotho. It contains no strong language, violence or sexual content and is suitable for readers from thirteen up. "Under the porch roof, he stamped the water off his shoes and the door opened. And there she was, the warm glow of the light behind her. Her hair was longer, lighter, her face older. Her expression welcome, concern, warmth. Genuine honest warmth, and he knew that however crazy coming here might look to anyone else, it wasn't crazy at all. If his family and his friends thought he was out of his mind, they would be wrong. This was exactly where he needed to be."
