Not Going to Plan

Marnie's really messed up this time. Thrown out of her posh boarding school just before GCSEs, the only empty seat in her new class is next to Zed, a nerd with zero tolerance for mistakes. Marnie (great at art and Spanish but definitely not numbers) can’t wait to lose her virginity - whereas Zed (great at maths and physics but definitely not languages) is a loner who can’t stand being touched.

But they have at least one thing in common: they need good grades. And what starts as a trade in tuition, turns into an unlikely friendship... a friendship that’s tested to breaking when Marnie’s tricked into having sex without a condom.

Now she needs Zed’s help to make the hardest decision of her life.

Not Going to Plan is an intensely topical, accessible YA verse novel which wades into the muddy waters of coercion and consent.
