'I'm just a girl, a girl who needs to pick up her own pieces and put them back together herself...'

We cannot wait to publish the TikTok sensation The Way I Used to Be by @ambersmithauthor in the UK next week! We've got some finished copies to send out to anyone keen to get their hands on this stunning book early 👀

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.

TW: This book contains material which some readers may find distressing, including discussions of sexual and physical assault, rape, alcohol consumption and drug use.
