A small, vulnerable, incorrigible ball of need, Silver’s acceptance of Katie cracks open something inside of her: an unravelling begins.

Luckily, she has James: self-assured, generous, and seemingly happy to make decisions for them both. When they go on holiday to James’s family’s seaside home, Katie’s attachment to Silver grows. Silver doesn’t mind that Katie can’t seem to get a job, hold her own at dinner parties, or make amends with her mother.
