"At first, it was love I wanted. In the end, I wanted myself back." Can you construct an identity out of lies? Something big happened in Olivia's life. Something big and unspoken that ripped and changed everything in her life. Struck with an unbearable truth, Olivia becomes a liar. It's her way of coping, her way of getting what she wants when she could not-imaginary worlds in her wide mind are just a form of it. But as coping mechanisms goes, lies only bring Olivia as far as it does. Driven to a point of no return, Olivia plans her own death as an accident, a last ditch plan to escape her own life that's a cage-and not cause the feelings of guilt in her friend, Richard for her death. But before her plan came aboard, she was brought to a therapist, Diana Jones. It seems like nothing would change, except this time, Diana gives her a pen and a journal and tells her to be honest, to write everything that she can't say to anybody-even to her, a professional clinician. Olivia chooses to do it for one reason: she has nothing left to lose and if she wants to, she can burn them so that nobody sees them before she leaves the world. What she never realizes that the first step to healing is to be honest. Delving into a mind that blurs the line between truths and lies, the line between reality and fantasy, this is a story about a woman who kept silent about her losses and end up losing more than she ever wanted. This is the story about silence and how it kills someone gradually till they are left with nothing, but remains of who they are. ------------------------- This is book two, but ultimately, all books can be read as a standalone.

"Don't jump, wait!" I cried as the boy stepped off of the ledge. I screamed and ran to the edge, leaning over it tediously. "You need to chill," someone said from above me. I squeaked and jumped backwards-thankfully. "B-But you jumped," I stuttered as I looked up at the boy who was hovering above me. "B-But," he mocked me, "I'm already dead, sweetheart." ------ Amelia Collins, social worker and quite frankly, possibly the nicest person you'll ever meet - living, or dead. Christopher Dell, community menace and quite frankly, possibly the rudest ghost in the province - and he prides himself on it. ------ "I love this so much!" - @writing_notepad
