"How Did You Know..." follows Kyle and Arthur from childhood into adulthood, tracing how a quiet friendship deepens through years of shared moments, uncertainty, and growth.
Told across shifting perspectives, the story explores first love, secrecy, and the challenge of choosing someone as life grows more complicated. It is a novel about time, memory, and the small decisions that slowly shape who they will become to each other.
When 𝐌𝐢𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 has to move back to Cedarsville, the perfect, glittering village of her childhood, she expects to pick up right where she left off: rich, admired, untouchable.
But Cedarsville remembers, and so does 𝐀𝐮𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤.
Once, they were inseparable: two girls building worlds in a treehouse, dreaming about forever.
Until Aubrey kissed her, and Mia called it gross, and everything broke.
Mia's family whisked her away to England. Aubrey stayed behind to become the outcast everyone whispered about.
Now, six years later, Mia's back.
Aubrey's still the same: clever, sharp, a little desperate to be seen, and Mia's still pretending she feels nothing at all.
It's not a love story.
It's obsession, humiliation, revenge, and the kind of attention that burns more than it heals.
They destroy each other slowly, intimately. Because somewhere deep down, they both think it's what they deserve.
