Here With You by @author.tori.l.james is a debut novel that follows Emilie & Rowan. They meet during a bachelorette scavenger hunt and they cannot forget about one another even after Emilie has a panic attack and spirals.

Anxiety rep books are one thing, but books that handle it with the amount of care and softness and truth is what makes it special. And HWY is SPECIAL. As some with anxiety and one who has experienced panic attacks (& represent myself in my book as well in my characters) Tori does an amazing job with Emilie’s anxiety. I felt seen, I felt heard, & I loved seeing Emilie’s journey through Rowan in him learning how to help her and figuring out ways to check in and be there for her. The way this book does not shy away from the talk of medication and the feeling of shame or trepidation that comes with it hits so hard but in the best way.
