Everyone Chose My Sister, So I Disappeared

Melanie has always been the invisible one. Her family adores her sister Naomi, her boyfriend Nathan remembers Naomi’s coffee but forgets Melanie’s birthday, and every photo leaves her out. So when Zurich offers her a dream design job, she quietly says yes and disappears. Only then do they notice—and race to bring her back. But Melanie is done waiting for a seat at their table. A sharp, satisfying story of being chosen last, leaving first, and finally choosing yourself.
