Tangled Ties

"You don't have to be someone else for people to like you. The real Sophie is enough."

When Sophie started at her new school, Zoey was her escape from loneliness. But being friends with Zoey came with a price-endless parties, constant pressure, and always doing things she didn't want to do. Breaking free wasn't easy, but with Bryant's quiet guidance, she found the strength to walk away.

That's when Stephanie and Finn entered her life. At first, they were everything she needed-supportive, fun, and exactly the kind of friends she thought she deserved. But things began to change. Stephanie's charm hid a manipulative streak, and Finn's wild unpredictability became exhausting. Slowly, Sophie found herself tangled in yet another toxic web, unable to escape.

When Stephanie betrays her in the most devastating way, Sophie is forced to confront the truth about her choices and the people she surrounds herself with. Haunted by the past, with Bryant reappearing in her life, Sophie must decide: will she continue sacrificing herself for friendships that drain her, or will she finally put herself first?

Tangled Ties is a powerful coming-of-age story about the struggle to break free, the courage to set boundaries, and the messy journey of finding yourself. Perfect for readers who love heartfelt, emotional stories of growth and resilience.
