Purple Vibes
Real. Intense. Hopeful.
Lynn’s journey to self-discovery begins with Purple.
Fifteen-year-old Lynn is afraid. Afraid of confined spaces, crowds – and above all, the tram. Her relationship with her boyfriend Leon is also difficult. But then Purple bursts into her life.
The girl with purple-dyed hair embodies everything Lynn feels she lacks: rebellion, joie de vivre, she is bursting with energy. Lynn feels drawn to her, but she keeps wavering between the desire for closeness and the urge to withdraw – until, after a few detours, she realises who has captured her heart.
With Lynn and Purple, two worlds collide: control meets joie de vivre, fear meets freedom, restraint meets courage.
A sensitive young adult novel about fears, self-doubt and the search for one’s place in life – honest, intense and full of hope.
