Alice may be bed-bound, but every day Stream Cast brings the world to her. From the streets of Tokyo to a masterclass in video games, she experiences other people’s wild and exciting lives all without ever leaving her room. But everything changes when Alice is introduced to a new streamer.
Rowan encourages Alice to stop watching, and start taking control. But Rowan has a secret he’s trying to hide from Alice – and from himself.
As Alice and Rowan build a bigger and more beautiful world together, their secrets threaten to tear them apart. Would you risk everything for love?
“This is well-written, sensitive on issues”
- Books for Keeps“Impossible to put down - this is a writer to watch.”
- C.J. Skuse“Thought-provoking and full of hope”
- The Bookseller“Heart-breaking and heart-feeling in equal measures”
- Lisa Heathfield“A moving read which shows you can find light and job in every life by LIVING”
- Andreina Cordani“Poignant, touching and compelling, this novel quickly engages the reader”
- Reading Zone“From the first page to the last I was hooked, it's a cliché but I genuinely could not put this marvellous book down”
- Frost Magazine“An intriguing tale... Thoroughly recommend”
- Phacemag“One of young adult fiction's most unique voices”
- HITC“This book is beautiful, heart-breaking and somehow still managed to leave me with a huge smile on my face”
- Lois Reads Books“This book was packed full of emotion - pain and grief but also love and joy. I have a chronic illness, and although mine isn’t as severe as Alice’s to leave me bedbound, I could relate to a lot of the book”
- Books in The Village“A truly beautiful book”
- Katrina Reads“This is a much needed addition to our YA literary canon... and oh, what a welcome it deserves”
- Where Polly Wanders“This is so good. Brilliant depiction of the impact of Chronic Illness”
- Jane Etheridge, FCBG
