Toxic

Sometimes parties are not all they are cracked up to be . . . the brilliant new novel from a Carnegie nominated author. Hope has never been happier. She‘s on her way to Crete, after a group of her friends have made her an honorary ‘lad‘ and let her tag along on their boys‘ holiday. There‘s a slight complication in that one of those boys, Logan, is Hope‘s ex-boyfriend, but they‘re still friends and Hope‘s pretty confident it won‘t be too awkward. The next couple of days are exactly what Hope was hoping for - lazy days in the sun, and long, drunken conversations. She can‘t help but notice that Logan‘s flirting with her. Logan and Hope end up alone and Hope is horrified when, after she leans in to kiss him, Logan completely rejects her. Embarrassed and annoyed, Hope is on a mission to get drunk, and with the alcohol flowing, and the sun going down, Hope‘s starts having a great time. The next thing Hope knows, she‘s being woken up on the beach by two strangers. It‘s 9 o‘clock the next morning and she can‘t remember anything about the previous night . . . what on earth happened?
