Glitterland by Alexis Hall (Paperback)

Life feels far removed from what it once was. After years of pressure, expectation, and personal struggle, Ash now moves through each day carrying the weight of his past and the uncertainty of his future. Writing has become routine, and hope feels distant.

A chance meeting introduces someone completely different into his world. Darian is open, energetic, and unfiltered, bringing a sense of lightness that Ash has not felt in a long time. Their connection is unexpected, but it begins to shift something beneath the surface.

As they spend more time together, moments of humour and honesty start to break through Ash’s guarded mindset. Yet the challenges he faces internally do not disappear, and trusting in something good proves difficult.

The story explores mental health, identity, and the complexity of connection. It follows the question of whether someone who struggles to believe in happiness can learn to accept it when it appears.
