WINNER - LITERARY TITAN GOLD BOOK AWARD


For fans of IN EVERY MIRROR SHE’S BLACK and EVERYTHING IS NOT ENOUGH, you asked for Jonny’s view. Now you have it.

We can’t control the privilege we’re born into, but we can control how we use it.

All Johan wants to feel is understood.

Not fawned over. Not treated fragilely. Simply understood. Heir to the Von Lundin empire, their golden boy Johan is as visible as he is invisible for many reasons his family would rather gloss over.

When he starts at Vauxhall Boarding School for the elite in the UK as part of “The Sweet Swedes” duo alongside his best friend Ragnar Pettersen, Johan starts to find his footing. But a chance meeting with Jamaican Brit Maya Daniels sets him on a lifelong chase for the one thing he can never fully have.

Is Johan a man spiralling out of control or a man finally falling comfortably into his own skin?

Spanning three decades, this coming-of-age story dives into the desires, deeds, and dark mind of one of the most controversial characters in Lola’s gripping book series - Johan “Jonny” von Lundin.
