Trust me, I'm trying

Soniya is just your average overthinking, emotionally-constipated Indian girl in London-armed with sarcasm, caffeine dependency, and a deep-rooted fear of group chats. She didn't ask for friends who barge into her flat uninvited, a boy with too-soft eyes, or this thing called trust everyone keeps bringing up like it's a group project.

She's trying-really.
To show up. To stay. To not ghost people just because they're being nice.

Between chaotic breakfasts, awkward hugs, and unspoken vulnerabilities wrapped in wit, Soniya stumbles through the mess of connection. Healing doesn't come with a guidebook-but it might come with toast, a hoodie that smells like safety, and the terrifying realisation that maybe, just maybe, she's not as alone as she thought.

A story about friendship, fear, found families, and the brave, hilarious, heartbreaking act of trying.
