The Circle

The Circle

By Geoffrey Simon Brown

Amanda is a genius. Ily is a drug dealer. Kit is a runaway. Mutt is a mess. Will has ADHD. Daniel is the son of a priest.

Everyone’s a bit too drunk and a bit too stoned. Everyone’s uncomfortable in their own skin. Everyone’s looking for a place to belong.

How far will things stretch without breaking?
