About The Book
The highly anticipated sequel to the internationally bestselling TikTok sensation The Way I Used To Be
'An absolute stunner of a sequel.' Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here
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?
'I could not put it down – a moving and powerful portrayal of trauma, love, and hope.' Alyssa Sheinmel, New York Times bestselling author of A Danger to Herself and Others
