Sometimes a new country brings you closer to yourself.
And sometimes... to someone you never expected.
Eighteen-year-old Yara Lindholm leaves her life in the Netherlands behind for an exchange program in the small Norwegian village of Trofors. Half Norwegian, half Dutch, but feeling nowhere quite at home, she hopes to start over there, with her notebook, her dreams of becoming a writer, and a head full of stories.
On her first day, she meets a girl in a cozy café with whom she immediately clicks: Emma. Their friendship feels effortless, safe, and genuine. Until Yara discovers that Emma isn't just her new friend... but the girl she'll be living with for the next few months.
As Yara tries to find her place in the Gunnarsen family's life, she becomes increasingly entangled in new feelings, secrets, and quiet moments that mean too much to ignore.
Especially when she finds her heart racing around Martinus, someone she absolutely must not like.
Between coffee dates, late-night conversations, unfinished sentences in her notebook, and the question of where she truly belongs, Yara must choose:
will she remain safely in the shadow of her own story...
or will she finally dare to take center stage?
A romantic coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, dreams, and a love that's as unexpected as it is inevitable.
This story contains sex, but it's not dark at all. All sweet and everything. And, it is slow burn, so we're going slowly...
