Publisher 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
Customer Reviews
Amazing book
I loved reading this it made me cry a lot and I felt like I was there just by reading it I loved it so much and I’m gonna read the way I am now next
Speechless
I will start by saying i never write reviews, totally unheard of. But my goodness I was absolutely speechless by the time I had finished reading this book. The emotions that are captured throughout this book are amazing. The story line is just so… real. Hats off to the author, Amber Smith, I absolutely commend you for how absolutely incredible this book is. And I thank you for bringing it to my screen to read.
Easy, touching read
Whilst the writing felt somewhat elementary at points, I realise that this is part of the character’s growth, and easy read does not always mean an immature read, as this book is certainly not. Important, raw subjects touching on the true effects of SA and the way it warps the mind.
