♡I was shocked to see whose still bewitching eyes had just accidentally met with mine. Giovanni! A boy, a crush, and one fantastic kiss. I thought I'd never see him again. ♡Dual POV ♡ It's the mid-90s on the West Coast: grunge music, mix tapes, pagers, skateboarding and baggy clothes. Lauren, an ordinarily shy 8th-grade girl, risks the first move to approach her long-time elusive crush, Gio, a gorgeous and mysterious outsider who has a secret crush of his own. The night of the school dance, they get exactly what they dreamed of: a first dance, a first kiss...but the timing isn't on their side, and the budding relationship slips through their fingers. Fast-forward to her junior year-the worst year of her life so far-and Lauren feels anything but confident. Gio reemerges at school after a three-year absence, and the unexpected encounter sends tremors through both of their lives. But their attraction to each other is as intense as ever, and interactions between them heat up quickly. However, Gio's school life is a disaster, and he harbors a secret he won't share, but it's the truth that Lauren keeps from him that really threatens to tear their young romance apart.

Also, it's set in the late nineteen nineties, which was my own teenage era, so I love revisiting the nostalgia of that time! " -Polly Ford. "This is a heartwarming and nostalgic read that will take you back to the late nineties, where we follow Ren, who is so relatable, as she comes of age on her journey with the swoon-worthy Giovanni, who will make your heart melt several times!

You first met Borys Leszczyński in the science fiction novel At the Twilight of Mankind, also available on my Wattpad profile. If you haven't read it yet, it's absolutely fine because Memoirs of a Middle Child is definitely a stand-alone. This book recounts the unusual story of Borys' life told in his own words as an old man. The novel covers the period from the 1990s to 2082. It's a science fiction dystopian story to read with an open and curious mind. Dedicated to all the "young folks" and to all the "old folks" of the beginning of the 21st century as well as to all those stuck in between. COPYRIGHTS © Beatrice Severien

Featured on @Romance in the Young Love reading list. ❤️ Genre: Dark Romance/New Adult Unable to change her imperfectly plotted storyline, Michelle just couldn't when it was always the synonyms of the words that changed when she tried, but never the plot twists. The sadistic author like the clock hands, wrote fate with the strokes of the ticks, leaving no room for a change. And somehow, she was that book, tossed in a corner of a bookshelf, on which dust settled with time as a reminder of her unaccompanied presence. The frayed ends of the pages wore out from each time, a reader would come, and read whatever appealed to them, letting her go after the bad plotline of her first - past - chapters. That was where that bookmark stuck, somewhere midway between the chapters, mistaken as the end of the story. It paralysed her into a moment in time, with her unturned pages not letting her move on to the next, that was unless someone else did. And then he came. A reader who probably couldn't change the stroke of the pen of time, as much as she couldn't as a character in her story. But he didn't just read her either. From drawing stars on footnotes, and hearts as annotations on the margins, he highlighted and savoured her moments as if he didn't want to let go of them, just yet. He read and reread her over and over until he had memorised her enough. And somehow, she was someone's favourite book. The feelings of falling for each other happened to break into an artwork of mosaic in the end. But when broken puzzles finally fit each other, the formed picture doesn't always come off as expected. Disclaimer: This story contains mature themes and suicidal thoughts/actions, drug abuse, and mental disorders, that might be triggering for some readers, therefore reader discretion is advised. This book is affiliated with my poems, Our Elegies and Mismatch Flame.

Just like other stereotypes, they seemed to be different from others' points of view. Two different people with tragic present, polar opposite where no one expects them to even associate, but when they do, under circumstances, understanding each other's importance in life, does the line of difference fades away? Or does it make it stronger? What would it be like when a suicidal girl happens to associate with a rumored homicidal maniac? Are they the only person who are dealing terribly with the present path life has thrown them into? She's suicidal, or so what she thought. He's homicidal or that's what they thought. But as they get to know each other, are they really as they appear to be? Or do their differences make the thin line of similarity between them stronger? Meet Amber Mckanzie. The first meet gives the idea of a quiet, shy, and introverted type girl who tries her best to stay out of trouble... But is she really? Meet Edwin Wilder. A dangerous aura, quiet words, and lifeless eyes scare most of the people near him leaving him to deal with his scary attitude and pitiful solitude. After his best friend disappeared, he's known to be the murderer of his best friend along with one other person. But is he really? And even though they can know the real meaning behind their façade, is it the only meaning? This book is rated mature because of the mention of suicide and self-harm.
