She's quiet, shy, and always in her own little world-until the day she finally gets her first job. Freshman-year pediatric nursing major Amani Brooks has always preferred silence over crowds and home over the outside world. Between dorm life she avoids, a busy but loving family, and her twin baby sisters at home, her comfort zone is all she's ever known. But everything shifts when she meets Sierra Hale, the soft-spoken, confident girl who works beside her. Slowly, gently, Amani starts stepping out into life-and into love. A slow-burn WLW romance about a quiet girl learning to open up, make space for herself, and fall in love for the first time.

Imani Brooks is quiet, untouchable, and everyone knows her name... but no one knows the truth behind the Brooks Circle. Brooklyn Reyes is chill, clueless, and thinks she's just met another senior-until Imani pulls her into a world she can't fully see. Late nights, laughs, and a connection too intense to ignore... but how far can Brooklyn go before the line between trust and control is crossed? - Was #1 in #blackgxg Was #2 in #urbangxg Was #4 in #femxfem

Zora Monet Laguerre. She's like a walking Barbie doll. Her hair and nails are always done. Her outfits are always in season with the perfect designer shoes and bag to match. She's perfect. Everything about her from head to toe is just, well- perfect. And working in the beauty industry, she doesn't have much room to be anything but, so perfect is what she forever strives to be. Rebecca "Ritchie" Diaz. She's the complete opposite of Zora. She thinks perfect is absolutely boring. And as a music producer/song writer, boring goes against everything she stands for. So naturally, she's not a huge fan of Zora's very posh, and at times a bit snobby, attitude. And Zora feels as though Ritchie is too care free and has no sort of structure to her seemingly very chaotic and always on the go lifestyle. And in the beginning they clash- a lot. But as cliché as it sounds, sometimes opposites do in fact attract, and sometimes... they don't. Started: January 9, 2022 Completed: July 7, 2022
