One woman's guide to falling in love, getting fit and surviving the end of the world. Karla is busy running her own business, half-heartedly trying to lose her belly fat, and avoiding thinking about her single-status - she does not have time for civilisation to fall apart rn. But when the world as she knows it crumbles like a triple-choc cookie, Karla will have to embark on the trip of a lifetime to find safety. Traversing the vastness of the Australian east coast, Karla and her companions - a misfit band of workmates and one reasonably attractive stranger - will find adventure, love and a new dress size. Rom-com meets disaster movie meets extreme-makeover, this story is for anyone who needs the motivation of a planetary disaster to change their world.

Once upon a time, Mila Martinique was the most famous rising star in Hollywood. Playing the role of a beloved real-life princess in a blockbuster smash about the royal family drama, Mila was known for her killer figure, her comedic timing - and her relationship with Erik Brear, her dashing and princely co-star. Ten years later, Mila is known mostly for being a mum, being overweight, and running the best community theatre in Queensland, Australia. She has tried to put her former life (and her former lover) behind her; but when her theatre is threatened, an offer from a movie studio tempts her back into the limelight - and back into contact with Erik. But Mila isn't 19 - or a size 6 - anymore. As she navigates the fickle world of the film industry, she'll need all her wit and all her grit to survive working with Erik, hold onto her heart, and keep her sense of humour. A romantic comedy for everyone who doesn't fit the Hollywood mould.

*COMPLETED* (Y.O.L.O stands for: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE) *** Carter Jones, the school nerd, and Killian Henderson, the reputated troublemaker, somehow end up getting detention together. "How about we make a bet?" Offered Killian, his pistachio-green eyes drilling into mine as a playful smile lingered on his lips. "A bet?" I gulped, intimidated by how close he was sitting next to me. He nodded and raised four fingers, the ones with the letters "Y.O.L.O" tattooed on them, wriggling them in front of me with his ever-so-confident grin. "Four dares, Jones, just you and me." And that's how it all started. *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance Cover designed by Holly Thurston
