A chance encounter between Sara and her ex-boyfriend, Justin, whom she hasn’t seen in four

years, sends her into an emotional tailspin.

​

Sara has Bipolar Disorder which caused her to act impulsively and irrationally in the past. As

she struggles with her thoughts and emotions after seeing Justin, the story ebbs and flows - the

chapters alternating between past and present.

 

The reader is taken on a nostalgic rollercoaster ride back to when Sara - an eighteen year old

art student working at a restaurant - first meets Justin. The story focuses on the beginning of

their 4-year relationship, and its ultimate demise. Meanwhile, in the present, Sara must wrestle

with long-kept secrets - secrets that have haunted her for years - and the guilt that accompanies

them.

 

Although the story is often dark, touching on some serious issues, there are many lighter

moments with sprinklings of humour and warmth.

 

The unexpected ending to this story will leave you reeling and wanting more.
