Description

Casann Nóinín, déagóir cúthail, ar fhear óg ar an idirlíon. Níl sé cosúil leis na gasúir ar scoil: tuigeann sé go smior í, agus titeann sí i ngrá. Ní maith léi am a chaitheamh lena cara is fearr, Eimear, níos mó – tá sí go huile is go hiomlán gafa. Nuair a théann sí chun casadh leis an fhear óg, ní thagann sí ar ais. Cuireann Eimear an milleán uirthi féin. Léigh scéal Eimear agus í ag dul i ngleic le ceisteanna faoi iontaoibh a bheith agat as daoine agus as an saol.

Nóinín is a shy, reserved teenager. When she meets a young man online, she knows he isn’t like the others boys at school: he understands her totally and she falls for him, head over heels. She doesn’t have much time anymore for her best friend, Eimear – she’s hooked on her newfound love. When Nóinín ventures out to meet him offline, she never comes back. Heartbroken, Eimear blames herself for Nóinín’s disappearance. How can anyone know who to trust?
