Born Wrong

Hello, lovelies! Lately, I've been missing Going 78 Miles Per Hour, especially my characters, and I found inspiration to write a similar story—that I plotted in a weekend. It's crazy that it's coming into fruition, and I am so excited to share to you what lies after. I was inspired by the idea of grumpy x sunshine, while also doing the brother's best friend trope, and I came up with this! I couldn't, however, just have another book about those two tropes—I needed grit, complexity, nuanced and angst, so I found my silver lining in Born Wrong: a story that follows two broken teenagers and how they navigate the world when life has given them shit. It explores the idea of suicidal ideations, where you don't actively choose to commit suicide, but if the opportunity comes, you won't do anything to stop it. It explores parental differential treatment, where siblings in the same household experience varying relationships with their parents. It explores codependency siblings, where siblings bound together and look for each other for support at the extent of their own well-being due to the environment they were raised in. Throughout this, I truly, absolutely want to emphasis the idea that life can be awful, and shitty, and can hand you absolute shits that you don't deserve whatsoever, but you're alive, and life, in the same capacity, could be wonderful, and adventurous, and amazing and living. I hope this story resonates with you.

Bright Seo has nothing left to live for. The aftermath of a series of tragedies, he spends the rest of his time spearheading to his death—through fights, car chases, and alcohol. There's nothing else to do, and no one, not even his best friend, can stop him from his inevitable demise.

Kala Roshan was born broken, or at least, that's what she's been told all of her life. A girl who has experienced nothing but a list of difficulties, she refuses to let it consume her. In a love of spite, she finds herself choosing to believe in the opposite: that life is worth living throughout.
