Something Certain, Maybe is a powerful novel about first love, friendships and embracing the uncertainty of an unknowable future, from Sara Barnard, winner of the YA Book Prize. Rosie is ready for her life to begin, because nothing says new life like going to university. After years of waiting and working hard, shes finally on the road that will secure her future. Except university turns out to be not what she hoped or imagined, and although shes not exactly unhappy - really - she might be a little bit worried that she doesnt really like her course much. Or her flatmates. Or, really . . . anything? But its normal to be homesick (right?) and everything will have settled in a month or two, and its totally fine that her friends seem so much happier than she is, and that the doctors dont seem to know whats wrong with her mother. And then she meets Jade, and everything starts to look a little brighter. At least, it does if shes only looking at Jade. But is first love enough when everything else is falling apart?
