Wall Flower

*Book One of the Flora Series*

They were never supposed to fall for each other. But grief doesn't follow rules.

Maddie Brown has always lived in the background-quiet, invisible, content to orbit around her best friend, Havisha Calaria, the girl who lit up every room.
But during their freshman year of college, everything changes.
Maddie feels herself slipping-into sadness, into silence, into something she can't explain. And then tragedy hits.
The aftermath is a blur of whispers, missing pieces, and dreams laced with yellow flowers. In the wreckage, Maddie finds herself drawn to someone she was never meant to trust-Maddie's long-time thorn in her side. They're both unraveling, both haunted by the same ghost.
As secrets rise and lines blur, Maddie must decide who she is without the one who kept her together all these years... and whether healing means holding on or finally letting go.
A story of grief, guilt, and the fragile kind of love that only survives in the dark, Wall flower asks: what's left of you when the person who made you whole disappears?
