As if you were reading me

By Alina J. Di Mattia

As If You Were Reading Me is not a love story.
It is the tale of a departure and a return: the journey of a young woman who, after losing her mother and being abandoned on the eve of her wedding, struggles not to sink into depression. For an entire year, month after month, she writes letters to Aur liane, an imaginary friend who becomes her last hope of salvation.
Each word is an act of resistance, each letter a way to hold back the ghosts that haunt her.
Through cities, seasons, and silences, the protagonist learns not to seek absolute answers anymore, but to guard her scars, to recognize the fragile strength that is born from the simplest of gestures.
When the journey ends, nothing has returned to how it once was - but something inside her has survived: a quiet strength, a gentle faith in the possibility of beginning again.
