Being a wallflower in 1966 London wasn't easy, and for Rosemary being in love with Bertie was harder yet. He has no idea of his best friends true feelings toward him, as for fear of losing him altogether she keeps her emotions locked away as best she can.Unfortunately, another issue for Rosemary is Bertie is deemed as being a criminal. He is a homosexual man living in a time when this is not only frowned upon, but illegal. If arrested for Gross Indecency he would be prosecuted and could be sent to prison for up to two years. Rosemary is one of the few people to know that Bertie is in a very secret relationship with their workplace boss (and her nemesis) James. Perhaps If she didn't have enough on her plate already, Rosemary would be better able to deal with the seemingly constant ribbings and abuse she receives from the factory 'skirt' and general 'goodtime girl' Babs, who is more often than not aided and abetted by her two cronies Ruth and Brenda. What is a girl to do? The characters and events in this book are based on real stories, tens of thousands of them.
