Jenny's Secret Life
Everyone at the university has a theory about Jenny Lambert. The phone she left behind has the facts, and it hands them over in the worst possible order: from the beginning.
Eleven chapters. English and French. Adults only.
Nine months, oldest first
The phone is encrypted and decrypts in chronological order, so you meet the ordinary version of her first. Each chapter opens once you have found enough of the previous one.
September
She arrives in Paris on a student budget that runs out in three weeks.
October
A friend mentions how much a photographer pays for an afternoon.
November
The first shoot. The money is real and nobody has to know.
December
An account opens under a name that isn't hers.
January
Subscribers start asking for more than photographs.
February
A contact saved as a single letter begins calling at odd hours.
March
Two lives that used to fit around each other stop doing so.
April
Someone she trusted takes a screenshot.
May
She works out what it would cost to stop.
June
The last month before the phone ends up on a lecture-hall seat.
