'When you're sixteen, everything is a soap opera.'
Summer is finally over. The town of Athea can once again return to its boring schedule. That is, until an accident. An accident that changes everyone.
Mostly, it changes sixteen-year-old Aaron Adle...
This book is posted on Wattpad and if you're reading this book or parts from it anywhere else (other than my tumblr where I share some excerpts occasionally from upcoming chapters. link in bio. Go follow me.), it has been stolen and you should read it where it's meant to be read. This book is the fruit of my ideas and if you are planning on stealing this, especially without crediting me, well, shame on you. Also that's illegal.
This is an Urban Fantasy novel about people stuck in a soap opera. It's in the fantasy genre because Wattpad doesn't have an urban fantasy genre and frankly this book has so many genres it would be easiest to put it in fantasy. Its an urban fantasy, murder mystery, thriller, teen romance, coming of age story set in a soap opera. Its a lot but it works together surprisingly well which you can judge for yourself when you read it. The chapters are long (and thus the updates a little infrequent, definitely nothing to do with me procrastinating, nothing at all) but there's word counts for every single one right at the beginning of the chapter so you know what you're getting into! Have fun!
I'll also be adding alternate mock covers I've made to the chapters for fun (at least until supplies last). They don't have anything to do with the chapters themselves in any way, shape or form. I just like them. The one on this chapter is a high res version of the cover. Feel free to comment on them.
And, fun bonus, here's a look at the back cover for some reader quotes and the blurb (still wondering about the fonts I should use tbh):

I know there's a few others quotes about my characters and stuff but couldn't find the original source so I didn't use them.
Also, since this is technically formatted like a soap opera, certain chapters will have a "Episode" chapter before them to denote the beginning of a new episode (as if this were a TV show) and each episode chapter will have a relevant quote if I can find one. So basically each episode will be around 60- 120 minutes of reading (assuming your reading speed is ~250 words per minute since each episode is around 15-30K words and I have nine episodes planned for this book/season). Hopefully it'll give you more cohesive and simultaneously episodic parts of the story. As of 26/08/20 we are on episode 4 and there will be more coming soon :)
Also also, this is a first draft and college keeps me busy. The updates are far apart (but like there's already 80K words on here). I hope you understand. And fair warning, my expected WC for the first season (of a planned 4, each their individual book) is going to be around 200K so, it's going to be pretty big. It's a soap opera, it's obviously going to be longer than it needs to be (no, it's not. I have shit planned out meticulously). Hope you enjoy reading this!
