The Weight of Water - Mara Linford

Sophie Tran is the reliable one.

She makes the lists. She checks the bills. She sits facing the door. When a girl collapses at a party, Sophie is the one who calls 999.

Nobody notices she’s waking at 3:17 every morning with her heart racing.

Then her absent dad starts texting. He’s unwell, he owes money, and he’s coming to Tarrow Bay. And he wants Sophie, the girl who holds everything, to hold him too.

A quietly powerful story about anxiety, boundaries and the hardest word a good girl can learn to say: no. Book six of The Glass House Chronicles.
