Plot. Tell in a few sentences what happens in the story and how it ends.
The book starts with a flash forward of Theo, a Jewish boy from North London, who
is staying in Amsterdam for a while. He and his friends find out that their friend Kitty,
also a Jewish girl from London with who he had a row last night, is missing. They go
searching for her, but she is no where to find. Theo blames himself for it.
At chapter 4 we go back in time to Kitty in London. Kitty dreams of a perfect life, but
that is impossible for her in London, where she and her mum are haunted by her
father’s unexpected death caused by a heart attack. Kitty herself does also got some
troubles with her heart and is known as ‘the girl that can drop dead every second’.

hers, Paul, and his son Ethan for a while to start a new life.

herself falling in love for the very first time with Theo.

family and the health of his ill mother. He says Theo that it is better if he stayed away
for a while. In Amsterdam, Theo can’t stop thinking about this Sophie, until he meets
Kitty and develops feelings towards her. But mostly, she is just a distraction for him.
When Theo’s older girlfriend Sophie comes to visit him in Amsterdam and tells him
they are over, his heart breaks and he doesn’t know what to do. He finds himself
