NOT GOING TO PLAN is a truly hilarious, moving and beautiful novel that captures teenagehood, its pressures and its complexities so perfectly; it's such a vital story that I hope will spark much needed and long overdue conversations about agency, consent and our right to choose, and I absolutely adore Marnie and Zed; they will stay with me for a very long time. -- Margaret McDonald, author of Glasgow Boys

Told from two perspectives, this poignant, powerful, often hilarious 14+ verse novel asks questions about respect, consent and how to hold it together when the plan falls apart. -- Imogen Russell Williams - The Guardian

Gorgeous, innovative and bold writing. UKYA at its finest. -- Sara Barnard, author of A Quiet Kind of Thunder

As in the very best YA fiction, Fisher explores a wide variety of sensitive topics whilst still crafting a narrative that feels honest, believable and character-driven. It never reads like a PSHE lesson but nonetheless imparts vital messages for young people. [...] It's also worth emphasising just how good Fisher's writing is. The verse is immediately engaging and accessible - Just Imagine

'So much heart, inventiveness, narrative power, as well as humour, and such clever ways of representing the experiences, thoughts and feelings of young people' -- Education Consultant - English and Media Centre
