“We’re losers. Nobodies. Carry on like this, we’re losers forever. And we don’t have to be. Fresh start, two months to completely one hundred per cent reinvent ourselves.”
Megan, Holly and Ben are definitely not the cool kids. But Megan has a plan. One long summer holiday to change their lives. One sure path to coolness. One amazing transformation, through the power of song.
Holed up in Megan’s garden shed, three old friends try to change their fortunes in a beautiful, heart-warming, laugh-out-loud coming-of-age story for our times. Rock on.

"A sweet meditation on the fierce, fragile alliances formed on the cusp of adulthood... incredibly endearing."
The Guardian
"Funny, confessional and well-crafted... Matthew Robins' music and Wells' lyrics feel like Victoria Wood for a new generation."
