Homeward bound: Cara appeared to be in good spirits as she headed home after the event

'Just having girls message me being like, "I’m really dealing with the pressure of my thoughts, my friends, eating disorders."

'That kind of thing, where I was like, I have an opportunity to really be there for them and help…be a voice for teens and be honest as to how I suffered as a teenager.'

Detailing the message she wants readers to take away from the novel, Cara added: 'That life is a beautiful mixture of wonderful disaster, but to truly love yourself is so important.'

With the book following a group of teenagers, Cara recently discussed her own struggles in her youth on This Morning.

Calling her teenage years a 'dark' time, she revealed while promoting her book on the show: 'Those are some of the points I remember the most. I didn’t know how to communicate my emotions.

'I was very ashamed of the way I felt. I had a very privileged upbringing, I was very lucky, I went to an amazing school, but I had depression and I had moments when I didn’t want to carry on.

'And then the guilt of feeling that way and not being able to tell anyone because I shouldn’t feel that way and I shouldn’t feel bad. It’s the guilt.'

However, she affirmed the 'traumatic' time had made her a stronger person, and she now wants to use her own battles to inspire others today.

'That’s what I want to be for teenagers, not necessarily a role model, but someone who has been through it and come out the other side,' she added.
