    Summary

    Dating back to when Carla and Lisa first met, we follow their relationship from enemies, to friends, to lovers through their journal entries. (There is brief Carla/Peter, as it starts during the Stephen Reid storyline but as we know, DS Swain soon dispatches him!). Trying something a bit different to my usual style.

    Summary

    Carla and Lisa were inseparable since high school, but Carla has secretly loved Lisa all along—something she’s never dared to confess. When Carla and Lisa go off to university, Lisa meets Becky and a whirlwind romance begins. When Lisa marries Becky, Carla steps aside, even becoming the maid of honour, all while her heart silently breaks. As Becky’s jealousy slowly drives a wedge between them, the once-close friendship begins to unravel. 25 years later, fate reunites them after Becky’s death, sparking a slow rekindling of their bond. But as Carla and Lisa reconnect, the feelings Carla has buried for years threaten to resurface, leaving her wondering if it’s too late for love.

    Summary

    ‘If I was to talk about the ways, yeah, you would hurt…and if you were to ask about the pain, I would lie’

    DS Lisa Swain is numb. Her colleague is dead, her wife is gone. And her grip on everything - her job, her relationship with Carla and Betsy - is slipping

    Mandated therapy is just another obstacle. But Robyn, the therapist assigned to her, doesn’t back down. She doesn’t flinch at Lisa’s anger, her guilt, her silence. She sees her.

    And Lisa? She has no idea what to do with that. As the sessions dig deeper, so does the question Lisa can’t bring herself to ask:

    Would anyone even want her. Like this?
