Preloved
By Shirley Marr
A sassy ghost story with a Chinese twist.
Amy has enough to deal with for one lifetime. A superstitious Chinese mother. A best friend whose mood changes as dramatically as her hair colour. A reputation for being strange. The last thing she needs is to be haunted by someone only she can see. Logan is a ghost from the Eighties. He could be dangerous. He's certainly annoying. He might also be Amy's dream boy.
- “This book is full of humour, warmth and a genuine understanding of the difficulties faced in our modern, multicultural society. 4/5 stars.” Bookseller+Publisher
- “An enjoyable, amusing and, on many occasions, very moving, read.” Viewpoint
- “Funny, touching, and convincingly set in a contemporary Australian city … many readers will identify with the issues raised in an original way in this enjoyable read.” Reading Time magazine
About the author
Shirley Marr wishes she were many things. Like the front woman of a hot band rocking an audience in an ultra-short mini, but unfortunately she’s tone deaf with appalling emo poetry skills. It's a good thing then that writing is her biggest, maddest love. Shirley writes what she describes as tragedy-comedy-drama YA fiction with “Mad-Bad-Little-Miss-Lady-Macbeths”. She is the author of the YA novels Fury and Preloved. Shirley is an accountant by day and a writer by night. She also has a website: www.shirleymarr.net
