Curing 7

Joseph Gibson is the class clown of Tommen College - always joking around, causing chaos in class, and spending every second he can with his two best friends, Jonathan "John" Kavanagh and Peter Biggs. Life is simple: rugby, trouble, and trying not to get caught by the teachers.

But everything changes when Peter's girlfriend, Sinead Healy, decides Joe needs to stop acting like an idiot and sets him up on a blind date with her best friend, Sadhbh O'Connor.

Quiet, sharp-tongued, and completely unimpressed by Joe's charm, Sadhbh is nothing like the girls he usually goes for. With her blonde twin braids, constant Tommen uniform, and habit of seeing right through him, she becomes the one person Joe can't joke his way around.

What starts as one disastrous date quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Between late-night phone calls, rugby matches, school scandals, and the pressure of growing up in 1980s Ireland, Joe begins to realize that maybe Sadhbh O'Connor is the one person capable of changing him for the better.

And for the first time in his life, Joseph Gibson is terrified of getting it wrong.
