L.E. Flynn, author of All Eyes On HerAll Eden wants is to rewind the clock. To live that day again. She would do everything differently. Not laugh at his jokes or ignore the way he was looking at her that night. And she would definitely lock her bedroom door. But Eden can’t turn back time. So she buries the truth, along with the girl she used to be. She pretends she doesn’t need friends, doesn’t need love, doesn’t need justice. But as her world unravels, one thing becomes clear: the only person who can save Eden… is Eden. ‘A courageous, necessary, and beautiful book.' Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces'A raw novel that’ll stay with you long after you finish.' Buzzfeed Review: Comforting - The book is good...good for those girls who went through a lot in their teenage...just go for it...<3 Review: Unputdownable! - Eden, the protagonist, left a lasting impact on me. From her bright and happy 14-year-old self to a young woman seeking liberation, her journey was tumultuous and heartbreaking. Each part of the story pushed her further down a dark path, breaking my heart in the process. I was simultaneously frustrated by the decisions she made, knowing she hurt many people, but no one more than herself. However, she eventually finds redemption and discovers the key to her freedom. It was inspiring to witness her grasp it with trembling hands, filled with worry and doubt. While I'm glad Eden was able to reunite with her brother and clear the air with Amanda, I wished the book had shown whether she made amends with Stephen, Mara, and even Cameron. It would have been satisfying to witness her reunion with Mara. Additionally, it would have been gratifying to see Kevin face the consequences of his actions. An epilogue depicting a glimpse into the future, months or years later, with quick updates on everyone would have been appreciated. It could have revealed whether Mara and Cameron stayed together and if Eden and Josh found their way back to each other. The ending, although fine, felt abrupt and left many unanswered questions. The one who selects this book will never regret reading this. Happy Reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,018 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Young Adult Nonfiction on Social & Family Violence #5 in Young Adult Fiction on Social & Family Violence #12 in Young Adult Fiction on Girls' & Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 19,760 Reviews | ## Images ![The Way I Used To Be - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811eirDX4rL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comforting *by M***. on 24 March 2025* The book is good...good for those girls who went through a lot in their teenage...just go for it...<3 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unputdownable! *by S***L on 19 June 2023* Eden, the protagonist, left a lasting impact on me.
