Years after a love that defined her fell apart without warning or reason, she still carries the weight of unanswered questions. The absence of closure has grown into something deeper, something darker. Anxiety. Depression. A slow unraveling of identity. Each day, she looks in the mirror and sees a version of herself that feels less like a person and more like a ghost waiting for the truth.
Torn between forgetting and understanding, she begins a journey through memory, heartbreak, and self-reflection. But healing cannot begin until she uncovers what really happened, and finds the strength to face it.
The Goodbye I Never Got is a raw, lyrical exploration of love lost, the quiet ache of what's left unsaid, and the painful, courageous path toward emotional freedom. For anyone who has lived with invisible wounds, this novel is a reminder: sometimes, to move on, you have to go back.

Crossroads Of The Heart
She woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented and aching, only to be hit with the devastating news-she had been in a terrible accident... and lost the last five years of her memory. The faces around her felt unfamiliar, except for two: her father... and Kai, the man her heart still called home. But reality didn't match her memories. Because everyone insisted she wasn't with Kai anymore. In fact, she was engaged-to someone else. A calm, steady man named Evan, who stayed by her side through the accident... and after. He claimed to love her. And he was patient-painfully patient-even offering to help her track down Kai, the man she swore was still her forever. As she tried to piece her life back together, torn between the ghost of her past and the man claiming her future, she began to uncover a truth deeper-and darker-than she ever expiected. Because finding Kai again wasn't the miracle she thought it would be. And remembering who she once was... might destroy who she's become.Complete

Still, She Hoped
She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her. "She believed in love, even after being broken again and again. With a mind full of storms and a heart full of cracks, she still hoped someone would choose to stay."
Her
After years of heartbreak and quiet loneliness, he had almost forgotten what it felt like to love - until he met her. She was a storm disguised as silence: lost, guarded, and one step away from giving up completely. Her walls were unbreakable, built high to keep the world - and the pain - out. But then he came along. Not to fix her, but to understand her. Slowly, the walls began to crumble - his and hers alike. Together, they found warmth in the cold, laughter in the ache, and love in the wreckage of who they used to be. "Her" is a heart-stirring story about the transformative power of love - how two broken souls can find healing in each other's arms, and how sometimes, all it takes is one person to remind you that you're still worth loving. This related to the song "Her by JVKE"Complete
Letters from the Edge of Sanity
This book is drawn from my own life. It follows the years when I left Tunisia for my studies in France and found myself facing loss, illness, and the discovery that a single moment can change how you see yourself. Rather than offering answers, it stays close to the small, unremarkable details - a dawn phone call, a train window, the silence of a sickroom - and shows how grief and guilt can sit beside fleeting tenderness. It is a personal story, but one that speaks to anyone who has felt the world go on unchanged while their own life was breaking.Complete
