Philophobia

Three Friends are all slightly Philophobic, they all have their own reason for being this way. As they go through their final term of year 9 before the summer holidays start, they tell their story in their own ways. Firstly, slightly nerdy Norah who is obsessed with her romance novels, keeps a diary. But it is not long before Norah experiences some romance of her own and finally wakes up to the reality of how love really is. Will she experience romance the way it is said in the books, or will she get disappointed? Quirky Kim emails her cousin, Ashley from New Zealand, regularly. She is a bit of a flirt and has never had a problem with her love life in the past. Then one day, she breaks up with her boyfriend, Louis, who does not take it very well. Kim still feels no guilt, but when she starts falling for Jonah, she gets a taste of her own medicine. Finally, hippie-like Flo breaks up with her boyfriend Ross after he cheats on her. The hurt from her relationship causes her to never want to fall in love again. To prove her point that love hurts, she writes a novel for a competition to win a camera. Her novel is about her and her friend's experiences as well as her disapproval of her sister's relationship. Being new to all this, the girls share their journey into their possible recovery of Philophobia.
