The Way We Were
After her dad dies, Poppy moves with her mum and younger brother to Cambridge, a city too polished, too perfect, too far from the girl she used to be. All she wants is to disappear, to become a ghost slipping unnoticed through crowded corridors and quiet streets. But ghosts aren't meant to be seen. And they're not meant to fall in love. When her brother strikes up an unexpected friendship with the sibling of Jamie, a boy who seems to have everything, Poppy is pulled into a world she never asked to enter. Their connection flickers to life in the spaces no one else notices: glances that linger too long, conversations that belong to no one else, touches that feel like secrets. It's private. It's dangerous. It's theirs. But Jamie has his own reasons for keeping her hidden, and Poppy knows the moment their secret slips into the light, it could shatter not just her careful invisibility, but everything they've built together in the dark.Complete
