Cherry is finally complete! It only took a little over a year to finish this story, and within that time frame, Cherry has been featured on three Wattpad profiles, including the official romance page! I am extremely grateful for that and the love this story has received so far.

Though this story is a romance, I wanted it to also focus on more serious themes, like mental illnesses. I dislike the plot most books have, that once the main character, who has a mental illness, gets a significant other, their issues suddenly vanish because their partner "saved them." I do think it's sweet in a sense, but it gives the wrong message about these illnesses. Throughout this story, Cherry continues to have nightmares from her trauma even after meeting Ethan, showing that even the love of your life can't solve your mental problems. You have to work on yourself in order to improve. Ethan realized this, which is why he was so quick to forgive Cherry. He knew she was dealing with things even he couldn't fix, so he wasn't mad at her for what she did to him.

I really enjoyed writing this, and now I'll be working on an enemies-to-lovers story! If you're interested, you can always follow to stay updated!
