The First Move

Brought to you by Penguin.Juliet believes girls like her - girls with arthritis - don''t get their own love stories. She exists at the edges of her friends'' social lives, skipping parties to play online chess under a pseudonym with strangers around the world. There, she isn''t just ''the girl with crutches''.Ronan is the new kid: good looking, smart, a bad boy plagued by guilt over what happened to his brother Ciaran. Chesslife is his escape.Juliet thinks Ronan thinks someone like Ronan could never be interested in someone like her - and she wouldn''t want him to be anyway - he always acts like he''s cooler than everyone else.Little do they know they''ve already discovered each other online, and have more in common than they think . . .©2023 Jenny Ireland (P)2023 Penguin Audio
