About The Author
My Review
If You Could See Me Now by Samantha Tonge follows Violet as she navigates heartbreak and self-discovery after her ex cheats on her. With the help of her lively new roommate, Bella, she focuses on self-improvement, but her transformation becomes a shield against deeper struggles she refuses to face. Alternating between past and present, the story begins lighthearted but soon reveals a more serious, introspective journey. As Violet confronts shocking truths, the novel explores mental health, identity, and empowerment. Though the pacing is uneven, this emotional yet hopeful read delivers a powerful message of confidence and self-acceptance.
