Twenty-eight year old Hattie is moving to rural Wales to pursue a whirlwind romance with a man named Oliver. Her friends are shocked: it's all so sudden, they've never even met him, and only seen one photo. That's because Hattie made him up. Oliver isn't real.
Hattie was diagnosed with a disability at two years old, and she's sick of constantly having to explain herself and prove that she's more than her condition. She was cracking under the pressure - then, one fateful night, something happened that meant she had no choice but to start over.
Lying to everyone and leaving her life behind, she moves to a remote cabin in an area where she knows absolutely no one, and she plans to hide her disability and live as an able-bodied person. No one has any idea of the truth, but that's the point: the easiest way to disappear is if no one knows you're gone.
But as signs of Hattie's disability start to creep in, her shiny new life slips through her fingers. Her friends back home start asking questions, and things spiral out of control. Caught between who she really is and who she's pretending to be, it's not long before she hits rock bottom.
Hattie has spent so long splitting her life in two, but now she needs to find a way to piece herself back together...
A moving, funny and utterly relatable page-turner for anyone who has felt a little lost, is trying to figure out who they are, or has struggled to accept themselves. Perfect for fans of Kirsty Capes, Daisy Buchanan and Abigail Bergstrom.
