"Pressure to go strike out on your own Pressure to learn from being alone Pressure to not leave it for too long Before you find another heart where you belong." -Julia Jacklin (Pressure to Party) This book is an au of my other stories, Lividity and Creek Blues. The characters are exactly the same, except they've been to therapy and have a bit more stability in their home lives. It can be read as a stand-alone fic too!

I never planned on falling for a girl. I definitely never planned on falling for her. Last summer should've been simple - hang out with friends, work a little, maybe figure out who I am. Instead, I blew up my six-year relationship, kissed my brother's girlfriend, and ruined the one person who was supposed to always be on my side. Now Cody barely talks to me. My ex won't look at me. And I've been trying to keep my head down... until Natalie Parker walks into my life. She's gorgeous. Brilliant. The kind of girl everyone notices. The kind of girl you can't help but smile around. And the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to pretend I'm not falling. But Natalie isn't just another crush. She's the kind of trouble that sticks - the kind that makes your heart race and your world tilt. I've already lost too much. Can I survive falling for her too? Messy friendships, complicated family drama, and a romance that's equal parts sweet and dangerous - Kissing Trouble is a sapphic coming-of-age story about finding love when you least expect it.
