Status Updates From The Absence of You: Heathle...

I'm confused.
This book takes place in, I would guess, 2024. Maybe a bit earlier. When the characters were younger, it would be 2014 at best.
They are both acting like phones did not exist. We are using landlines at best here

And what is even the excuse that two supposedly best friends did not reach out to each other AT ALL during school time?

And why didn't Gray visit? Liverpool is an hour away ffs

But you chose that Dahlia! I had no fucking choice. You just cut me off. No goodbye. Nothing. I’m sorry about your mum, but I fucking needed you too.”

Is this idiot for real???? Her mom is a depressed alcoholic from losing the love of her life and this rich bitch is making it about him???

How many guys has she been with when she should have just been mine? I know it’s selfish and completely hypocritical to hope she’s still a virgin, but the thought of any other guy touching her makes me see red.

Who wants to bet that she's a virgin while he's been sleeping with his bitchy girlfriend for 3 years😃😃

For the first time, I let myself consider that maybe it wasn’t actually her choice not to come back. I had been so busy making it about me, feeling so abandoned, I’d never really stopped to consider the whole story. And now she’s up here, seemingly without Rosie, and that had to mean something too, right? If nothing else, maybe it’s time we have a conversation, and I actually hear her.

Look who decided to be smart
