Alter Ego

Sometimes, the person you're hiding from is yourself... Hattie is moving to rural Wales to pursue a whirlwind romance with a man named Oliver. Her friends are shocked: it's all so sudden; they've never even met him.

That's because Hattie made him up: Oliver isn't real. Diagnosed with a hidden disability at two years old, Hattie's sick of constantly explaining herself and proving that she's more than her condition. One fateful night - a New Year's Eve in London - she's tipped over the edge: Hattie decides to run away and live as an able-bodied person for the first time.

Moving to a remote cabin in the middle of nowhere, where she knows absolutely no one, Hattie starts over. Back home, nobody can know her true reason for leaving, and in her new life, nobody can know the truth about her. But it's not long before she's caught in her lies - trapped between who she really is, and who she so desperately wants to be.

As things spiral dangerously out of control, can she piece herself back together? A moving, funny and utterly relatable page-turner for anyone who has felt a little lost or has struggled to accept themselves. Perfect for fans of Kirsty Capes, Daisy Buchanan and Abigail Bergstrom.
