Overview
The Paper Aeroplanes Series by Dawn O'Porter brings together two beloved coming-of-age novels, Paper Aeroplanes and Goose, in one paperback collection set. Set against a nostalgic mid-1990s Guernsey backdrop, these books follow teenagers Renee and Flo through the highs and lows of adolescent friendship, first love, and self-discovery. Honest, funny and emotionally true, this collection is a must-read for young adult and adult fans of character-driven contemporary fiction, and makes a thoughtful gift for teen readers and book lovers alike.
About the Books
Paper Aeroplanes introduces fifteen-year-old Guernsey schoolgirls Renee and Flo, two very different teenagers who are drawn together by loneliness and difficult home lives. Renee is bold, curious and sexually confident, while Flo is quiet, studious and introspective, yet an unlikely and deeply loyal friendship forms between them. As the girls navigate jealous former friends, complicated family situations and Renee's growing infatuation with Flo's brother, Dawn O'Porter captures the intensity of teenage life with warmth, wit and unflinching honesty. Goose picks up the story a year and a half later, as Renee settles into a more peaceful life with her Auntie Jo and the geese on her land. With school ending and university looming, Renee and Flo must confront the pressures of growing up, changing priorities, and whether their friendship can survive the transition into adulthood. Together, the two novels form a compelling, bittersweet portrait of female friendship that has resonated with readers since Paper Aeroplanes was first published in 2013. This series remains one of Dawn O'Porter's most fondly remembered works.
