Amber Smith

The anticipated sequel to the internationally bestselling TikTok sensation The Way I Used To Be. Eden used to believe the only person who could save her was Josh. He was everything that was good in her world – an open heart, a tender touch, a kind smile – but he couldn’t be her saviour. Eden had to do that for herself. Back in high school, they never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. Eden carried the burden of a devastating assault, while Josh struggled with the demons of his alcoholic father. Now that Eden has faced up to her attacker and is starting college, they might finally be in the right place at the right time... But can their love withstand the chaos of college life and the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?

''Back then I felt like I had no choice but to accept whatever kind of affection was offered to me even if it wasn't what I wanted or needed. But maybe we can only accept the love we think we deserve.''

As I take the pieces of my clarinet out of the case and begin putting them all together again, it feels like maybe some other pieces of my life are beginning to fall into place too. Like, maybe I can get back some of who I used to be—the good parts I thought were lost forever.
