Summary

The heart-rending and inspiring novel from the critically acclaimed author of NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST.

How can you have a future if you can’t accept your past?

Mel Hannigan doesn’t have it easy. Mourning the death of her firework of a brother, facing the loss of three friendships that used to mean everything to her and struggling to deal with a condition that even her closest friends don’t know about. To protect herself and everyone else, Mel tries to lock away her heart, to live quietly without pain – but also without hope.

Until the plight of an old friend, and meeting someone new, shows her that the risk is worth taking, that opening up to life – and who you really are – is what can make everything glorious… And that maybe Mel can discover a tragic kind of wonderful of her very own.

A beautiful, captivating story about living with mental illness, and loving – even with a broken heart.

Amazing

This book was truly an incredible experience and I couldn’t stop listening to this until it finished and now I feel as though there is a hole in me.
I don’t have bipolar disorder but I suffer from ocd and although their experiences are much different I still felt as though I related to some aspects of the book

Fab book

Soothing yet involved story. I listened in bed before sleeping and it kept my attention but didn’t over stimulate my brain. Sad, funny just a really enjoyable book
