- Default Title
Description
Mavis Green thought moving to Camden would be a fresh start. A new town. A new school. A chance to leave behind the friends who failed her-and the trauma she never asked for. Camden looks perfect from the outside: polished halls, quiet wealth, curated lives. But beneath the shine, Mavis is still carrying anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and the aftermath of an assault everyone expects her to "move on" from. Healing isn't neat. Survival isn't linear. And safety feels fragile when your own mind won't stop turning on you. Then there's Shelby-sharp-tongued, reckless, unexpectedly gentle. With her, Mavis begins to learn what consent, patience, and real connection actually look like. Alongside a loud, chaotic queer friend group and the slow work of therapy, Mavis starts to rebuild herself piece by piece. This is a story about mental illness, first love, and reclaiming your body after it's been taken from you. About choosing to stay. About learning that being alive-messy, scared, and imperfect-is enough. Raw, tender, and unapologetically honest, When It Happened to Me is a coming-of-age novel about surviving, healing, and daring to hope anyway.
