The Girl I Couldn’t Save

The woman I am today could not have saved the girl I was ten years ago. At fifteen, Cleo Calloway believes reinvention is survival. With glitter under her eyes, art in her hands, and a desperate hunger to be wanted, she falls hard for the kind of boy who knows exactly how to make danger feel like love. Ten years later, Cleo looks back on the girl she was-the lies she told, the people who tried to save her, and the night everything began to unravel.
As more girls step forward and long-buried truths rise to the surface, she must reckon with the version of herself she once blamed for not knowing better. Raw, lyrical, and haunting, The Girl I Couldn't Save is a coming-of-age novel about survival, memory, and learning that coming home to yourself can be the bravest thing of all.
