The extraordinary conclusion to the internationally bestselling TikTok sensation The Way I Used To Be series

Eden struggled to find her voice for years after her brother's friend Kevin raped her. It wasn't until Kevin's ex-girlfriend, Gen, and his sister, Amanda, came forward that Eden knew she wasn't alone. Telling her family was hard, reporting to the police was even harder-and giving testimony on the witness stand was next to impossible.


Eden, Gen, and Amanda have done everything in their power to pursue justice. And now, in the wake of the jury's decision, they are expected to move on while still grappling with the grief and hurt from the events that turned their lives inside out. With Amanda finishing high school, Eden still adjusting to college, and Gen determining what she wants to do when she graduates, each girl will have to chart her own course forward to find healing and discover the women they'll become.


From bestselling author Amber Smith comes a powerful story of justice, autonomy, and healing that will sit with readers long after they've turned the final page.
