Troubled literature student Daniella struggles with her dark past while drifting further and further away from reality. With the support of her girlfriend, Amanda, can she overcome her fear and face her past?

An extract from chapter 1:

My mind is a washing machine of thoughts, a whirlwind of sound. All fighting to form a coherent song, a melody that everyone can understand, all my thoughts spinning round and round in a continuous loop- some thoughts pinwheeling at high speeds, others drifting in lazy circles. 

The thoughts used to sound like jazz. Oh, the beautiful sound of jazz. Sexy, free-flowing, smooth, confident, funky, jazz. All over the place yet masterfully controlled. Perfectly imperfect. But my thoughts have changed. Recently, they've been anything but beautiful. They're dark, black, angry. 
                                                                            No, not angry.
                                                                                                 Furious.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
