The broken fragments

In this unflinching and heartfelt memoir, Lola bares the scars of a childhood marked by emotional turbulence, fractured family bonds, and the silent weight of guilt. Against the backdrop of her parents' unravelling marriage and the sharp edges of jealousy and misunderstanding, she navigates a world where love feels conditional and invisibility is a constant companion

Through intimate moments-like the quiet comfort of her cat Smudge's unwavering presence-Lola confronts the deep loneliness and confusion that shadow her young life. As she grapples with feelings of worthlessness and the growing chaos around her, she begins to uncover the roots of her struggles with borderline personality disorder and body dysmorphia.

This is a story of pain and resilience, of finding small sparks of tenderness amidst the storm and the difficult journey toward self-acceptance. It is an honest exploration of family, identity, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma on the fragile soul.
