The Worst Thing She Ever Did (2010) / Lost For Words (U.S Ver.)
A gripping, emotionally raw novel about grief, guilt, and the long way back to yourself.
Sixteen-year-old Sophie is drowning in the aftermath of a tragedy she can’t speak aloud. As she shuts down, pushes people away, and tries to outrun memory, the truth of what happened — and her part in it — refuses to stay buried. A powerful story of loss, survival, and the quiet courage of starting again.
