Annie Try's background as a clinical psychologist and writer for the Creative Therapy series has informed her writing of fiction. Annie lives in West Norfolk but is originally from Kent.

This is a skilfully-constructed novel about friendship and surviving terrible facial injuries ... It is an optimistic, even uplifting piece. It has a well-defined shape and trajectory, and this novel succeeds in what it sets out to do: to explain and understand what happens when someone suffers this kind of adversity. The two girls are very well characterised - from early on they are well-defined and their friendship is portrayed in a very realistic way, with all of its highs and lows, and fallings out ... It is all reflected as sharply as if it really was being written by teenagers. (Feedback from MA Creative Writing, Manchester Metropolitan University)
