She’s sixteen, sharp, and trained in silence. In a house where control hides behind kindness and anger is always waiting, she’s learned how to vanish without ever going anywhere. Strong girls do that — they disappear the parts of themselves no one wants to see.

But when the balance shifts and the silence turns brutal, even disappearing won’t keep her safe. This time, there’s no way back.

Set in 1980s Western Sydney, Unkissable is a raw, intimate coming-of-age novel about control, containment, and the quiet undoing of a girl who knew too much, too early.

The Unbound Series

A raw and resonant four-part coming-of-age journey through silence, survival, and the cost of becoming

Set across Western Sydney in the late 1980s to early 2017, The Unbound Series follows one girl’s fractured path through control, longing, and the shadowed spaces between power and love.

Told over four books — Unkissable, Unloveable, Unravelled, Unhinged — the series traces her survival through domestic silence, forbidden desire, subculture and escape, and finally into a reckoning with everything she thought she'd left behind.

Dark, intimate, and psychologically charged, this is not a story about rescue. It’s about what strong girls learn to bury, and what it takes to come back whole — or not at all.
