The Illusion of Us

by Brooklyn Kate

Overview

Seventeen-year-old Meg's love with Theo was supposed to be perfect: High school sweethearts embarking on a forever-future together. But beneath the surface of their carefully constructed image lies laid a dark reality: a manipulative and unfaithful partner. As the relationship slowly crumbles, Meg must decide if saving this relationship is really worth it. She loves him.
Now, Meg must untangle herself from the wreckage and rediscover who she is - what she truly deserves. But when betrayal strikes, and a new connection sparks amidst the chaos. Will she be brave enough to embrace a chance at real happiness? Or will a "friendship" ruin it all?
The Illusion of Us is a powerful and raw story of a toxic relationship, fake friendships, finding the strength to break free, and self-discovery, which reminds us that all that sometimes, the greatest love story is the one we write for ourselves.
