Secrets don't stay buried forever. Lies always surface. And the truth? The truth can destroy everything.

High school and early college are supposed to be about friendships, love, and self-discovery. However, reality is much darker for the characters in The Year We Lost Ourselves. Behind every perfect couple, viral moment, and innocent sleepover are secrets—some humiliating, some terrifying, and some that change lives forever.

A trusted teacher isn't who he seems.
A college party turns into a nightmare no one saw coming.
A best friend's betrayal is exposed in the most public way possible.
A coach with too much power destroys a star athlete's future.
A viral scandal turns a private moment into high school humiliation.

In this unflinching collection of short stories, the lines between friendship and betrayal, trust and deception, love and manipulation blur. Some will make you uncomfortable, some will make you angry, and some may feel painfully familiar.

For anyone who has ever been lied to, manipulated, or left unheard—this book is for you.

Read. Remember. Speak up. Because these stories, they happen every day.
