Maxwell, Lee

Emerald Budgies

Ruth is in a state. The kind of state where you might put a hedgehog under the wheel before reversing, or pull on rubber underwear before running drugs to a colleague. Things aren't going to get any better till the memory she's been avoiding floods back into her mind-and after that, they'll get a lot worse. "Great energy - so much chaos - and I laughed out loud a lot too."-Emily Perkins Lee Maxwell's first novel is a darkly comic tale of disintegration, betrayal and revenge-"Prozac Nation" meets "Crash!"
