The girl she was

Plot

'She'd long ago stopped wondering whether anyone would find out what she'd done. It was in the past, and Layla didn't dwell on the past.' Seventeen-year-old Layla was just like any other teenager in the small town of Glasswater Bay: she studied hard, went out drinking with her friends and worked at the local café. But when she started having a relationship with her older, married boss, everything changed. Twenty years later she's living a quiet life in the suburbs with a husband and two children, a life far removed from the girl she was. Until she receives a text message: I know what you did. For years she outran her past, turning away from the town and her friends. Now her past has caught up.
