“Hotel Ellesmere is on the south side of Hyde Park, in East Kensington, one of London’s poshest districts and home to the creator of Peter Pan”. Lily, about to start at university on a grant, is amazed at the luxury of where she’ll be living. Meredith, though, is more at home here, as is Ava, who is more worried about her secrets being discovered by the persistent Connor, the Korean boy who’s always hanging round Rex (the one everybody talks about because of his mother) and Martha, the one with blue hair who threw a total fit when she bumped into Tom at a party. Yes, THE Tom Roy, friend of Finn, the ginger videogame addict who feels sorry for Oliver… whom Lily would rather never see again. As autumn sets in, they all come together in their new surroundings, where the higher they climb, the more dangerous the fall.
