Second Edition.
Mel's life is totally out of sync, at school, at home, everywhere. Pug is the only good thing - loving him, in his untidy room scented and shadowed with frangipani, she finds passionate fulfilment. But his world is so different from hers - can they possibly make it together? And can she let him in on her overwhelming secret?
A sensuous, passionate story of first love, first baby, 'The Best Thing' captures brilliantly the turmoil in Melanie's life and the intensity of her pleasures and pains. In a natural, unforced way it shows Mel's growing understanding of love, individuality and responsibility.
