CONTENT WARNING: This book contains themes of mental illness, self-harm, substance abuse, and sexual assault.
Two teens. One first love. And the fight to stay alive. Mia Callan and Milo Chatham are both seventeen, falling for each other in the middle of everything falling apart. Mia's dealing with an eating disorder she can't shake. Milo's hiding seizures and depression. They both feel broken-but maybe together, they can start to heal until life hits even harder.
Bullying spreads across social media. A party turns dangerous. Trauma, addiction, and isolation start closing in. The darkness they've been trying to escape? It's catching up fast. But this isn't just a story about pain-it's about surviving it.
Mia and Milo will have to fight for their futures, their recovery, and their love. With the right support, the proper treatment, and each other, maybe they can find hope-and something like happiness-on the other side. A raw, emotional journey through mental illness, trauma, and the power of love that refuses to give up.
