Lily used to be the girl who smiled at everyone.
The girl who laughed loudly, made friends easily, and brought light wherever she went.
But as she enters secondary school, that light begins to fade.
Between cruel rumours, relentless bullying, broken friendships, and battles nobody can see, Lily finds herself fighting a war inside her own mind. While the rest of the world sees a cheerful thirteen-year-old girl, Lily is struggling to survive the loneliness, heartbreak, and self-doubt that follow her every day.
When she finds unexpected friendship in Ava, Amy, and Rosie, Lily finally begins to discover what it feels like to belong. But healing isn't a straight path, and some wounds run deeper than anyone realises.
A powerful story about friendship, resilience, and finding hope in the darkest places, Still Here explores the hidden struggles many young people face and reminds readers that even the smallest spark can survive the strongest storm.
