★★★★✨

"Sheena has a wonderful way of making you care deeply about her characters. They're flawed, raw and very, very real."

★★★★✨

"An emotional rollercoaster of friendship, secrets, heartbreak and forgiveness. Beautifully written."

★★★★★

"A thoughtful, character-driven novel... I couldn't put it down."

” ★ Featured review ★★★★✨

"This book took me on a proper emotional journey. Initially, there was the mystery of what had driven these two best friends apart, and trying to uncover the truth kept me turning pages well into the night. And by the end... ugly crying! The proper kind where your face has apparently forgotten how to function."

4.5 star review

Always Us book cover

Best friends, torn apart.

Anna and Patsy were best friends at primary school, a match made in heaven: an artist and an illustrator, both with a shared love of horses. But as they grew up, secrets, lies and deception drove them apart.

Now Patsy has cancer, and their worlds collide once again. A story about friendship through the years, the secrets that can shape our lives, and whether forgiveness can heal wounds that have been left to fester for decades.

A story of friendship, secrets and second chances

Sheena Billett
About the author

Sheena Billett

Sheena has long been fascinated by the everyday and the knowledge that everyone has a story, no matter how unremarkable they might seem. The theme that connects all of her writing is that of journeying through life. This might be a literal journey, as in From Manchester To The Arctic, or an emotional journey where characters are sometimes pushed out of their comfort zones through having to deal with a crisis or unforeseen event.

Sometimes the journey results in growth and exciting new horizons, but in other cases, there are those who refuse to take any steps along the journey, and consequently remain stunted, often damaging the people around them as a result.

Sheena lives with her wife in Nottinghamshire.
