What to expect

How do you piece yourself back together when everything falls apart?

18-year-old Saoirse hates school. And so does her boyfriend. But when her boyfriend makes an irreversible decision just before final exams, Saoirse soon finds everyone blaming her - including herself.

Shunned, secluded, and suffering, she struggles to find a way to reduce her anxiety. And when things go from bad to worse, Saoirse must learn to regain hope to find and foster herself again.

A deeply moving and incredibly relevant YA novel about mental illness and recovery, "Things I Know" is the perfect read for fans of Selena Gomez’ "My Mind and Me".

"Things I Know" was nominated for the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing 2023.
