It’s better to have flared up and burned out than to never have been ignited at all. Of that, I am convinced. 

When Hanna’s grandmother dies, she cries for the first time in almost twenty years. The last time she did so was on the day her friend Elizabeth disappeared.

Elizabeth crashes into Hanna’s life like a dazzling comet when Hanna is sixteen. Both are children of divorce, raised between different cultures. Suddenly, life takes on new color, and the worldly, free-spirited Eliza quickly draws Hanna out of her shell. Together, they are unstoppable. Until everything spirals out of control, and it becomes impossible to tell love from obsession, or friendship from betrayal.

Elizabeth the Third is a contemporary novel infused with suspense, delving into family relationships, the search for belonging, and a toxic friendship that changes everything.
