About The Book
Two secrets, an unbreakable bond. The powerful YA debut from award-winner Stewart Foster charts the friendship of a lifetime.
I wish you were here, because maybe this isn’t a story, or a diary. Perhaps it’s just the longest thank you letter a friend could ever write.
As the summer before college begins, Jonas is hiding a secret. He suffers with Bulimia but no-one knows. Not even he knows how bad it really is. Until he meets Louis, a confident dreamer who believes in a better future for Jonas. But when tragedy strikes, Jonas must decide if he can face things alone.
Warning: contains some themes that readers may find upsetting, including disordered eating.
