When pretending no longer works

A YA novel covering themes of abuse, alcoholism and narcissism

Abby wants nothing more than to be happy. With strict parents and a twin sister who seems to have found her dream man, Abby really tries to
keep her relationship with her boyfriend Milan perfect. But that’s tough when you have to deal with manipulation, gaslighting and abuse.

Joan can’t remember the last time she was carefree. Running a household as a high school student, having three side jobs and a four-year-old brother and depressed mother to take care of, Joan can never rest. And then there’s that cute girl at work… When she finds a secret that could drive the family apart forever, time starts ticking for Joan.

Dark Clouds of Confetti is a contemporary Young Adult that treats difficult topics in a painfully recognisable, but also beautifully comforting way.
