The first is that I remember life by what I was wearing. The second is that I think too much. It's the early 1990s and all Gemma can think about is looking perfect for her first school formal. Gemma's brother Billy - New York's up and coming hair and make-up artist - has made her the ultimate promise: he's returning home especially to 'create magic' on her and two friends for their end-of-year formal. Gemma's best friend, Andrea, is convinced it'll be their moment to shine; Gemma hopes it's the night Ralph will finally notice her. But when Billy arrives home from New York, Gemma's life becomes complicated. Her family's been keeping secrets; friendships are forged and broken; and suddenly the length of her formal dress is the least of her worries. Set in a time of uncertainty and fear,  The Things We Promise  is a beautifully told novel that sings with emotion, humour and heartbreak.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48215331471579,"sku":"9781760290405-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5ab8cb2b-ac04-40cb-b045-d9c280316ac6.jpg?v=1770053842","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781760290405-secondhand-the-things-we-promise","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
