Description

A Winner in Ockhams New Zealand Book Awards - Best First Book Award for Fiction 2018. Cynthia is twenty-one, bored and desperately waiting for something big to happen when her bootcamp instructor, the striking Anahera, suggests they run away together. With stolen money and a dog in tow they buy 'Baby', an old boat docked in the Bay of Islands, where Cynthia dreams they will live in a state of love. But there's an intruder waiting to upset Cynthia's plans and when a trip to an island utopia goes horribly wrong, a rot sets in on their relationship.
