Letters to the Girl I Couldn't Save

Letters to the Girl I Couldn't Save is not like the soft, romantic love stories I usually write. This story is deeper, heavier, and built around truth, trauma, and the fight for justice. It's a GL (girl love) romance, yes-but it's also a psychological drama, a courtroom battle, and a quiet war against silence.

Set in New York City, the story follows Rowan Hale, a young therapist haunted by the suicide of her best friend, Aerin-someone she couldn't save. Years later, Rowan meets Sloane Vale, a 17-year-old survivor of a brutal assault. Sloane's abusers walk free, protected by privilege and power. Her sister Lennox, fierce and relentless, is determined to make them pay.

As Rowan helps Sloane heal through therapy, she forms an unexpected bond with Lennox-built on grief, guilt, and shared rage. Their connection slowly blossoms into something more, something raw and real. But nothing about this journey is easy. They'll face smear campaigns, legal threats, panic attacks, and painful testimonies. And through it all, three broken souls will find strength not just in justice-but in each other.

This story is about survival, sisterhood, healing, and the courage it takes to speak when the world tries to silence you. It's about love-not the picture-perfect kind, but the one that grows out of darkness and dares to bloom anyway.

Content Warning:
