❝ in which two opposing forces meet with an explosion of hearts, an onslaught of tears, and a wonderful story to tell. ❞
Grace is a bright star in a dark night.
Liam is a black hole in this same black world.
They both live where it's dark, where to survive - truly survive in all of life's glory - you have to be lighter.
Grace has this down-pat, with a perfect family, a perfect future, with a simply-put perfect life.
Liam's life is not so perfect. He has an alcoholic mother that goes through boyfriends like she goes through glass bottles, and his future is as hazy as his mother's drunk eyes.
When they meet on the street outside the grog shop, they connect instantly - like in all good stories - but their opposing lifestyles provide a very substantial barrier.
Liam is dark, as much as Grace is light.
Can Grace save Liam?

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete
