β¦ Synopsis
A YA reimagining of Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, set in a boarding school.
One girl.
Three boys.
Beautiful, rich, selfish Beth Atkinson is the undisputed queen of her new school and she won't give that up just to be someone's girlfriend. Her loyal friend Milo and the intense head boy Edward both try to change her mind, but it's only when she meets gorgeous, charming Zack that she finally twigs what all the fuss is about.
She's in so deep with Zack, she can't see until it's too late that her careless choices affect everyone around her, wrecking the lives of her friends and propelling them all towards tragedy.
"It has the potential to be a classic." Matt Rudd
"The Islanders is a fantastic read - a sexy, intelligent, romantic story about the lives and loves of a group of teenagers at a boarding school. It is sure to appeal to fans of E. Lockhart." Sam Mills
