Notice Me: A See Me Prequel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246016510)

After losing his best friend, Zane arrives at West Bridge with grief still lodged in his chest and a heightened awareness he never asked for. From the outside, life keeps moving. Inside, everything feels quieter. Sharper. He starts noticing the things others don't.

The silences.

The jokes that land wrong.

The moments everyone else laughs through.

And then there's Seren.

She is beautiful, untouchable, and deeply alone. Surrounded by people who want her, but no one who truly sees her. From the edges of the room, Zane watches her slip further beneath the surface, recognizing a pattern he's seen before. One that doesn't end well when it's ignored.

Told entirely from Zane's point of view, Notice Me is a slow-burn, trauma-informed love story about grief, quiet devotion, and the cost of paying attention. It explores what it means to notice someone when it matters most, and the weight of choosing not to look away.

This novel is a prequel to the viral sensation See Me and adds new emotional depth to the series, revealing what was happening in the background long before Seren ever told her story. For readers who believed Seren when she said she was fine. For the ones who wondered who was watching. For anyone who understands that safety isn't the same as being okay.

Notice Me is part of the See Me series by Tella Alvarez, a collection known for its honest portrayal of mental health, grief, and being seen when it matters most.

This story contains depictions of grief, substance use, and suicidal ideation. Reader discretion is advised.
