Releasing 10 by Chloe Walsh (Paperback)

A deeply emotional romance about connection, trauma and the fragile strength of first love, this final instalment in The Boys of Tommen series follows two young people whose bond feels unbreakable until life forces them to confront painful truths.

Lizzie Young has spent her life feeling out of place. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age, she struggles to find acceptance within her family, her friendships and her wider world. Carrying emotional weight far beyond her years, she has learned to cope largely on her own, even when it feels overwhelming.

Everything begins to shift when she meets Hugh Biggs, a thoughtful and grounded boy who sees her in a way no one else ever has. With patience, care and quiet determination, Hugh becomes someone Lizzie can lean on. Their connection grows naturally, built on trust, understanding and an undeniable emotional pull that feels different from anything either of them has known before.

As their relationship deepens, Lizzie and Hugh discover that love is not always enough to protect them from the challenges life throws their way. External pressures, personal struggles and long-buried trauma begin to test the strength of their bond, forcing both to confront what it truly means to support someone through their darkest moments.

This is a story of resilience, vulnerability and the complexities of growing up while carrying invisible battles. Chloe Walsh delivers a powerful and emotionally charged romance that explores mental health, healing and the intensity of first love within a tightly connected friend group.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional contemporary romance, friends-to-lovers stories, sports romance, mental health representation, young adult and new adult fiction, and deeply character-driven love stories.
