All the Things We Don't Say

Eighteen-year-old Emma Reynolds has spent her entire life being known as one of the boys.

Growing up alongside her three brothers and the chaotic Holland family meant there was never a moment of silence, privacy, or distance - especially not from Tom Holland, her best friend since childhood. He's always been there. Through family holidays, late-night drives, stupid arguments, heartbreaks, and every bad decision in between.

But university changes everything.

Thrown into the chaos of freshers' week in Manchester, Emma suddenly finds herself in a world where nobody knows who she's supposed to be anymore. Between reckless nights out, new friendships, too much alcohol, and the overwhelming freedom of being away from home for the first time, the lines between friendship and something far more dangerous begin to blur.

Because Tom is acting differently.
Emma is noticing things she never noticed before.
And jealousy is a lot harder to ignore when they're no longer just kids sharing a back garden in Kingston.

The problem is, neither of them knows how to admit what's happening between them - especially when risking their friendship could ruin everything they've spent eighteen years building.

Funny, messy, emotional, and painfully real, All the Things We Don't Say is a story about growing up, falling in love with the person you were never supposed to want, and discovering that sometimes the hardest feelings to confess are the ones that have always been there.
