Falling in love, finding yourself —
one story at a time.
Never, Not Ever
A smart summer romance about family secrets, finding yourself, and falling in love.
Every year, Tilly dreams of the dad she’s never known showing up for her birthday. But he never does. When she wakes up on the morning of her sixteenth birthday dadless yet again, she knows it’ll never happen.
In fact, it’s her worst birthday ever because her grandmother died a few months ago, her mum is working again, and the boy she’s in love with—the ridiculously gorgeous Josh—refuses to break up with his drama-queen girlfriend and notice her instead.
Then Tilly’s dad does show up, shocking everyone, and she works out an awful truth: Her mum and her grandma lied to her. For sixteen years! Tilly is drowning in her family’s lies. Worse, these feelings for her neighbour Zack—these stupid, flustering, more-than-friends feelings she’s been trying to ignore—mean she’s also lying to herself.
Curious how it all unfolds?
Unputdownable YA romance with a secret side of healing.
Everything’s Absolutely Fine
When perfect plans are perfectly ruined
This is Eliza’s year. She’s going to be the best girlfriend ever to the gorgeous guy she met over summer, win the national debating championships (after last year’s epic fail), and finally make her mum proud — just like her big sister did when she won a national singing title.
But things don’t go to plan.
Super-hot Seb apparently missed the memo about being the perfect boyfriend. Grandma moves in for twelve weeks, takes over Eliza’s bedroom, and turns the already-tense family home into a war zone. And then there’s Declan — the intriguing new guy on the debating team who’s way too distracting.
Oh, and now her family is acting weird about her eating. Like, really weird.
Eliza’s perfect year is officially falling apart. She tries to keep it all together, but when her mum and grandma’s fighting hits breaking point, a storm of family secrets erupts — including the one Eliza’s been hiding from everyone… even herself.
Everything’s absolutely fine… until it’s not.
