She fights to hide the ugly parts of it from the world…until she can't anymore. After Eli breaks her in the worst way possible, Lydia is pushed into a chaos of her own making, unable to cope with the devastating aftermath. Unfortunately, when chaos is all you've known…peace feels foreign. Lydia learns the only way to survive is to numb. She doesn’t think she can feel anything for anyone again…Until Bash.

She doesn’t want to be saved, and he doesn’t want a savior complex.

He doesn’t try to fix her, and he doesn’t run from her darkness. He stays steady for her, walking her through things they both don’t understand. And in the quiet wreckage, Lydia starts to experience what love looks like when it doesn’t hurt… Tell Me I'm Not the Villain is not your typical coming-of-age romance – it's gut-wrenchingly raw and human.
