The Mila and Liv series · for girls 10 to 14

Two friends, four seasons, and lots of little memories

Mila and Liv are best friends. They're 15, getting through ordinary teenage life together, and they rarely live through the kind of things big movies are made of. Instead, they get exactly the moments you suddenly remember years later.

What it's about

Not a perfect story

Mila and Liv don't tell a perfect story. They're also not here to show readers what a great summer or fall is supposed to look like.

Instead, they remind you to pay attention.

To the afternoon when nothing special really happened. To the talk with your best friend that went on much longer than planned. To a rainy day that turned out nice after all. To a line you're still laughing about months later.

Because that's exactly what the memory books with Mila and Liv are about: your life doesn't have to be spectacular to be worth remembering. And maybe that's why, at some point, Mila and Liv feel less like characters in a book and a little more like two friends who go through the year with you.

Frequently asked questions about Mila and Liv

Who are Mila and Liv?

Mila and Liv are best friends and the recurring characters in Daria Helck's memory books. They're both around 14 to 15 years old. Mila is on the quieter side, creative, and thoughtful; Liv is more spontaneous, lively, and often the one who just jumps right in. Together, they keep readers company through special and completely everyday moments of the year.

Which books are Mila and Liv in?

Mila and Liv are part of Daria Helck's memory book series. They keep readers company in SUNKISSED – My Summer Full of Memories and COZY AUTUMN – My Fall Full of Memories. Winter and spring are in the works.

What is COZY AUTUMN?

COZY AUTUMN – My Fall Full of Memories is an interactive memory book for girls. It combines short stories about Mila and Liv with pages for writing, filling in, drawing, pasting in, and collecting. Little by little, it becomes a very personal book about your own fall.

What is SUNKISSED?

SUNKISSED – My Summer Full of Memories is the summer memory book with Mila and Liv. It captures friendships, trips, favorite moments, little adventures, and all the things that later become your own summer memories.

What age are the memory books for?

The books are mainly for girls around 10 to 14. Mila and Liv themselves are about 14 to 15. To younger readers, they feel like slightly older friends, without being far removed from their own world.

Are the books diaries?

Not quite. The books combine elements of a diary, a friendship book, a memory album, and a creative fill-in book. There are questions and lists, room for photos and keepsakes, short stories, calendar pages, and space to write and draw.

Do you have to read the books in a certain order?

No. Each memory book works on its own. But if you follow Mila and Liv through several seasons, you'll get to know them better and better.

Are Mila and Liv the main characters of the books?

Yes. Mila and Liv show up again and again in illustrations and short stories. But the real main character is always the reader herself. The two friends keep her company as she captures her own memories, thoughts, and experiences.

What are the Mila and Liv stories about?

The stories aren't about big adventures but about the moments that make a friendship: long talks, afternoons together, little trips, sleepovers, insecurities, laughter, and moments that seem completely ordinary at first and still stay with you later.

What makes the memory books special?

The books don't dictate what a perfect summer or fall has to look like. They make room for what really happened. Photos, little finds, thoughts, inside jokes with friends, and personal favorite moments make every filled-in book one of a kind.

Can you paste in photos and keepsakes?

Yes. The books include pages made especially for photos, little keepsakes, and seasonal finds. COZY AUTUMN, for example, has room for fall photos and even for a pressed fall leaf you picked yourself.

Do the books make a good gift for girls?

Yes. The memory books make a great gift for a birthday, before school break, or at the start of a new season. Unlike a regular book, the girl who gets it keeps shaping it herself and fills it with her own memories.

Who created Mila and Liv?

Mila and Liv are characters from the memory books by author Daria Helck. They were created as two very different but close friends who keep readers company through the seasons and tie the world of the books together.
