Bad Behaviour
Bad Behaviour is a book about friendship and about knowing what we want from life.
It’s about those ‘if only’ or ‘what if’ times, when we wonder how our lives would have turned out if things had taken a different course.
And it’s also about how sometimes the grass always seems greener for someone else. It’s the story of two friends, Nieve and Darcey, who were always there for each other but who haven’t spoken for over 10 years because Nieve pinched Darcey’s boyfriend when they were younger.
But now Nieve is getting married and she wants Darcey to come to the wedding and let bygones be bygones.
Darcey isn’t sure that she wants to come – or that she wants anything other than to get her revenge on her once best friend….
I wrote this because I’m really interested in how things in our past impact on the way that we behave in the present. Darcey’s humiliation at the hands of Nieve has affected everything she’s done ever since. And she struggles to let go and put the past behind her, which I think is the case for many of us. I also wanted to write about someone who seems to be totally amoral, as Nieve does.
