A chilling YA thriller told in verse about online romance, obsession and the dangers hiding behind a screen.
He made her feel seen. Then she vanished without a trace.
Daisy has always been quiet - the kind of girl who fades into the background. So when she meets a boy online who really sees her, she falls fast. He listens. He understands. He makes her feel special in a way no one at school ever has. Soon, Daisy's world shrinks to a glowing screen. Her mum worries. Her best friend Erin is pushed aside. But Daisy doesn't notice - she's in love.
Then Daisy goes to meet him in real life. And she never comes back.
Left behind with guilt and unanswered questions, Erin is forced to confront the truth Daisy never saw. In a world where screens can lie and love can be faked, how can anyone know who to trust?
