Summary
"The world is bracing for Y2K. Anna is bracing for betrayal."
It's 1999 in Szczecin, Poland. Anna, nineteen and scarred, starts a new diary the moment she realizes she's in real, terrifying love with Marek – the first boy who stays. He’s kind, steady, green-flag perfect. She’s a walking landmine of jealousy, buried trauma, and self-sabotage.
As the millennium clock ticks, Anna must confront her obsession before it destroys the only healthy thing she's ever had.A raw, darkly funny epistolary dive into healing, trust, and the fear of deserving better. No villains, no dark romance tropes – just two damaged people trying to be gentle with each other.
Content notes: Past non-consensual experiences (mentioned, not graphic), anxiety, body image issues, jealousy.
