'An Eighties Breakfast at Tiffany's' David Nicholls
'Elegant, sexy, tender wild' Emma Jane Unsworth

July, 1981. London.
Shy, working-class Steven finds solace in beauty. Eighteen-years-old, he dreams of being a fashion designer. He's also gay, maybe. There's a lot Steven isn't sure about yet. Then a brutal attack lands him in hospital, and he meets Jasmine – intoxicating, anarchic, fabulous Jasmine. Over the course of one summer, their giddy, glorious, maddening friendship will turn Steven's life upside down – and rewrite his destiny forever.

'Dazzling' Marian Keyes

Industry Reviews

"Both a beautifully observed coming-of-age tale and a lovely examination of the addictive joy of friendship"
i

"Emma Forrest writes books that feel like beautiful bruises, the sort of wounds that you shouldn't press hard on but do anyway because the pain feels so horrible good. Royals is her best ... A clever, moving portrait of teenage friendship and so well handled that the novel's climax lands like a punch to the gut"
i news

"Honest, provocative and disarmingly funny"
Guardian

"A grand romance ... Valuably disrupts conventional notions of love"
Mail on Sunday
