It's never too late

Coralie never had a fairy tale.
Only muffled screams, silent betrayals, hands that hurt, eyes that judged.
She grew up in fear, survived in loneliness, learned to smile without meaning it.
At thirty-one, she expects nothing anymore.
Not love.
Not joy.
Not peace.
She moves forward, mechanical, exhausted, through a life that has lost all color.
Her mother's death finished breaking her.
Her days are a grey prison; her heart, an abandoned room no one enters anymore.

And then came that night.
A TikTok live.
An unfamiliar face.
A smile from another world.
And a brutal jolt inside her chest - like a scream tearing through everything that was dead within her.
She doesn't know her.
They don't even speak the same language.
They have nothing in common.
And yet, Coralie knows.
She knows it's her.
Against all logic, against all fear, she falls alive again.
She falls in love.

This is the story of a girl who thought she was beyond saving.
The story of a girl who thought she would never feel anything again.
And who felt everything, all at once.

A violent, raw, heartbreaking novel.
A true story.
