Fourteen-year-old Mimi is lost in the aftermath of her parents' tragic death, her world unraveling faster than she can hold it together. Struggling with overwhelming grief, she falls into the manipulative grasp of someone named Leah-known as Smiley-who grooms her during her most vulnerable moments. As Mimi spirals, she turns to underage smoking, drinking, and reckless behavior, including repeated suicide attempts, that eventually land her on suicide watch.
In the chaos of her pain, she navigates a heartbreaking breakup with her girlfriend Layla, leaving her feeling even more alone. But Mimi's story isn't just about loss-it's about survival, healing, and the quiet power of love and support. With the compassionate guidance of her therapist, Dr. Harper, and the unwavering presence of her close friends-Melaine (nicknamed "5") and Kiki-Mimi begins to find her way back to herself.
As her journey unfolds, Mimi meets Allen, someone who sees her for who she is and truly loves her. With his care and her circle of support, Mimi begins to believe in a future worth living for. Raw, honest, and deeply moving, this is a story of breaking, healing, and the strength it takes to start again.

Magdalena Nowak, 21 ans, étudie la médecine à Bristol. Le soir, elle pousse une autre porte, celle d'un club aux néons rouges, là où les noms sont faux et les corps disponibles. Là où le sien s'en lasse. Elle ne vient pas d'ici. Née en Angleterre de mère polonaise et de père britannique, elle grandit dans un foyer où la mort a laissé un vide que personne n'a su combler. Son père est parti trop tôt. Sa mère est là, fatiguée, absente à force de tenir. Magdalena, elle, porte tout. Tout bascule quand elle rencontre Caleb Carter, son nouveau professeur de psychiatrie. Âgé de 31 ans, Caleb enseigne avec précision accompagné d'un regard qui semble deviner ce que les autres cachent. Il vit seul, avec un passé qu'il garde fermé à double tour. Il ne cherche pas à sauver. Elle ne cherche pas à être sauvée. Ce roman n'est pas une romance. C'est une plongée dans les zones grises de l'âme. Un récit psychologique, cru parfois, doux rarement. « Le jour, j'apprends à sauver des vies. La nuit, je loue la mienne à l'heure. Ce n'est pas une contradiction. C'est juste... le prix à payer pour tenir. »
Healing Hearts
**EDITING** "See? Isn't it beautiful?" she whispered, breaking the comfortable silence between us, her voice soft and full of awe. "Yeah." i whispered, my gaze still locked on her. "It really is." She looked at me, a puzzled expression on her face. "You're not even looking at the sunrise," I smiled, gently brushing my thumb over her cheek. "I know." • • • Emmalyn Ansley may seem like the epitome of sweetness and humor, but beneath her warm exterior lies a world of pain that no one sees-not even those closest to her. Despite her outward strength and fierce independence, the reality is far more complex, as her body bears the hidden scars of a life that has been anything but kind. On the other hand, Mateo Ellis is the embodiment of cold indifference. Hardened by a life devoid of love, he presents himself as a ruthless, self-serving young man who trusts no one beyond his tight-knit circle of friends. He's never known what it feels like to be loved, and he has no desire to change that. But when these two seemingly incompatible souls collide, the result is anything but predictable. Will their meeting lead to mutual destruction, or will it spark something neither of them has ever experienced-something that could change their lives forever? 🏅#1 in Mental Health 14.07.2024 🏅#1 in Abuse 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Addiction 05.02.2025 🏅#1 in Trauma 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Fighting 25.10.2024 🏅#1 in Fighter 21.10.2025 🏅#1 in Panic attacks 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Shooting 27.02.2025 🏅#1 in Sad story 02.06.2025 🏅#2 in Depression 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Overprotective 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Bad boy 05.02.2025 🏅#2 in Loss 05.03.2025 🏅#3 in Sunshine 09.10.2024Complete
