Description

The extraordinary YA TikTok sensation about learning to survive unthinkable trauma from bestselling author, Amber Smith

‘After finishing this book, my heart was pounding and I couldn’t find words big enough to describe how brilliant, beautiful, and powerful it is.’ L.E. Flynn, author of All Eyes On Her

All Eden wants is to rewind the clock. To live that day again. She would do everything differently. Not laugh at his jokes or ignore the way he was looking at her that night. And she would definitely lock her bedroom door.

But Eden can’t turn back time. So she buries the truth, along with the girl she used to be. She pretends she doesn’t need friends, doesn’t need love, doesn’t need justice. But as her world unravels, one thing becomes clear: the only person who can save Eden… is Eden.

‘A courageous, necessary, and beautiful book.’ Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces

‘A raw novel that’ll stay with you long after you finish.’ Buzzfeed

Back Cover Copy

The anticipated sequel to the internationally bestselling TikTok sensation The Way I Used To Be.

Eden used to believe the only person who could save her was Josh. He was everything that was good in her world – an open heart, a tender touch, a kind smile – but he couldn’t be her saviour. Eden had to do that for herself.

Back in high school, they never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. Eden carried the burden of a devastating assault, while Josh struggled with the demons of his alcoholic father. Now that Eden has faced up to her attacker and is starting college, they might finally be in the right place at the right time…

But can their love withstand the chaos of college life and the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?
