Everything We Never Said
A contemporary sapphic romance
With a flourishing career, beautiful home, and a famous surgeon for a husband, Polly’s life looks picture-perfect. But when she stumbles on her husband’s infidelity, everything unravels. Unmoored, she does the one thing she thought she’d never do—she flees Sydney and heads back home to England. But instead of finding to a safe harbour, she is haunted by a past she thought she'd left behind long ago. Most painful of all are memories of Mari, her estranged best friend who disappeared without a word nearly twenty years ago.
As Polly searches for direction in places from her childhood, she confronts a reality she had been too naïve to face when they were still friends: she’d been in love with Mari from the very beginning. Now, as she tries to rebuild her life, Polly is determined to track down the woman whose heart she unwittingly broke to see if the love she lost might still be there.
But divorcing her husband isn’t as clear-cut as it would seem, nor the only persistent complication she has to deal with. Mari has her own wounds, her own secrets, and a life Polly may no longer fit into.
Can Polly find the courage to break free of her past, rekindle a love that never quite faded, and reclaim the life she was always meant to live?
A late-to-sapphic contemporary romance dealing with the messy reality of leaving your past behind to embrace your authentic self.
