The Things I Wrote About You

Iris Bellamy has two lives.

By day, she's a twenty-year-old bookshop worker in North London who spends too much money on second-hand books, writes songs nobody hears, and overthinks conversations that lasted less than five minutes.

By night, she's @paperbackdarling, an anonymous fanfiction writer with eighty thousand followers and one very important rule:

Nobody knows who I am.

Especially not him.

Then Fleur, Iris's wealthy and relentlessly social best friend, drags her to an exclusive London arts party.

And Iris meets Harry Styles.

Not the version she's written about.

Not the person her readers think they know.

Just Harry.

He doesn't know about the account.

He doesn't know that Iris has spent years turning pieces of his public life into stories.

And Iris intends to keep it that way.

Because falling into someone's real life is one thing.

Letting them discover you've already written fictional versions of it is something else entirely.

As Iris's anonymous world begins colliding with her real one, she has to figure out where the line is between inspiration and obsession, between being understood and being recognised, and whether some stories are better left unwritten.

Because the songs she keeps hidden in her notebook?

They're starting to sound less fictional.

And Harry has started asking questions.

She wanted to write stories about people.

She never expected to become part of one.
