This is a story about Y/n Nelson. The cousin of Nick. She comes to life with him, after things happening no one really knows about. She meets Tori, a person who doesn't smile much or is really nice to people... normally. And she meets people who become her friends like no other. ‐----‐---------------------------------------------------------- (I also have to say that the quality of this story becomes better throughout the story) All rights go to Alice Oseman!

After a summer spent in silence, hidden away from friends who barely noticed she was gone, Max returns to school carrying more than just secrets beneath her hoodie sleeves. While her old friends gossip under the Berry Tree, Max finds comfort in an unexpected place: the quiet shade of the Willow Tree and a girl named Liz-sarcastic, guarded, and exactly what Max didn't know she needed. A story about pain, recovery, being seen, and letting someone in-even when it's hard.
