About this ebook
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
