"Like I don't care about you because I do!" {#805 in Teen Fiction - 08/25/17} {#642 in Teen Fiction - 11/10/17] {#418 in Teen Fiction - 31/12/17} {#9 in Teen Fiction - 23/12/20} {#52 in "Love" - 30/12/22} Note: This book isn't really about smut. It's heavy on romance that revolves around understanding one another, being there for each other, and growing together. I hope this book can offer you something unique from the other books on this platform, which tend to draw from toxic expectations of relationships and love. It starts out very cliche but I promise you, it's worth the read. Thank you.

Fifteen year old Charlia has to do a class project. The project? Correspond to a pen pal. Thinking that it would be over email, Charlia and her classmates concluded that it was going to be easy. That was until she discovered that it was going to be handwritten. Alex couldn't understand why he'd decided to do this, but he felt that it would motivate him to write. So when a school had put out a request for people to be a part of the pen pal project, he signed his name up, inspiration lacking and frustration growing. What happens when Alex is paired up with Charlia and when things go wrong, he's the only one there for her? When pen is put to paper, words come tumbling out, even without meaning to. Some words will change the lives of others. {IT'S NOT A LOVE STORY, GET YOUR HEAD FROM THE GUTTER.}

You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"
