My book talk<\/strong>:
\nAs Dad’s short vacation grows longer and longer, 17-year-old Delilah juggles schoolwork, her best friends’ expectations, and unfair business competition so she can keep her family cafe going, but is dreaming of dancing Rosa across the street of their Sydney suburb.<\/p>\n

She refuses to ruin Dad’s trip (first since Mum ran off with another man) by telling him of their cafe manager’s arrest; she’ll just run The Flywheel till he’s back in a few weeks…<\/p>\n

Being short-handed at the cafe means she’s falling behind on her classwork.<\/p>\n

Helping Charlie with his wild plans to make his (older) tutor fall in love with him aren’t helping, either.<\/p>\n

Best friend Lauren is completely ignoring Del’s coming-out, but the bullies at their school aren’t.<\/p>\n

The underhanded tricks of a new restaurant nearby are cutting into The Flywheel’s business, Del actually talks to beautiful Rosa (and doesn’t faint) – and Dad extends his vacation – uh, oh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
