One in four women have turned down a marriage proposal. Including Lennon. To be fair, though, it took Sam getting down on one knee for her to realize that it wasn't what she wanted. Although making a grown man cry hadn't exactly been something she wanted either. Four months later, Lennon is living a mortified existence...back to sleeping in her childhood bedroom and working in the used bookstore. She's not sure what's going to drive her insane first: the guilt or her newest coworker, Perky Penny. Then Cooper lands smack dab in the middle of her life, classifying himself as nothing more than a rolling stone. He has the entire sleepy, coastal town curious. Lennon included. Rightly so, considering Cooper isn't exactly what he says. Seven years ago, he and his band were the biggest name in rock and roll...until he abruptly disappeared from the limelight and hasn't been heard from since. Both Cooper and Lennon are harboring their own share of secrets. As the two get closer, though, the past starts to catch up. Eventually, they'll have to decide if it's better to keep running or if some things are worth standing still for.

*Now a featured Wattpad story! Zara was never meant to be an outcast. Once upon a time, she was a Red Cape- a member of the respected forest guard. That was before the accident, though. The one that left her partner dead and her to blame. Now expelled from the guard and living a life of shame, all Zara wants is to redeem herself and earn back her coveted position. The perfect opportunity arises when a mysterious Hunstman shows up in the kingdom...looking for her. Somewhere deep within the dark forest, a princess is being held captive by the werewolves and their king. As the royal Huntsman, it's Ronan's job to find her and bring her back. And who better to guide him than a former member of the renowned Red Capes? While Zara isn't thrilled at the idea of working side by side with the irritatingly charming Huntsman, she's in no position to refuse his proposition. Especially if she wants to impress the guard and earn a second chance. Together, they enter the forest to face the myriad of terrifying creatures awaiting inside. Ardon, the werewolf king, has an agenda of his own...one where he and his pack rise from exile to reclaim their place at the top of the food chain. When he begins to make unexplainable appearances within Zara's dreams, she realizes things are far from what they seem. The truth behind their strange connection may not be one she's ready for. However, the werewolf king is far from the only one harboring dark secrets. What began as a simple rescue mission will soon turn into a challenge not only for Zara's life, but for the world outside the forest.

Legend has it that "sluts" are lurking all around. You might encounter one on a shadowy street corner or posing in a magazine. But those tricksters also blend in easily at school, at church functions, and even in your own home. Constant vigilance is required. Without it, you might accidentally become one yourself. Except... there's no such thing as a "slut." It's just a myth. So is the "slut's" invented opposite, the "good girl." What's the deal with these lingering stereotypes and around female sexuality? Why do they still bear so much control over our cultural and personal expectations? These chapters are collected/edited from my Teen Vogue column. I want to share them with you here, where we can discuss them together, because the Wattpad community was so crucial to establishing The UnSlut Project as an international movement. I hope your comments on these essays will grow into conversations, and that we can keep inspiring and learning from each other!

"If my lip wasn't a wreck. I would kiss you so intensely right now that our lips burnt and I wouldn't stop until your lips awoken in realization that my lips was the only lips you ever wanted to kiss for as long as time." He had said those words easily with confidence as a cheeky smirk refused to wipe from his face. His words had made my heart beat faster. I had never imagined what it would be like to kiss Stephan, but I was beginning to. Warning!!

Ever since I turned 12, I learned I would never be able to reproduce. Sex was exactly what I did throughout my teens–knowing that I’d never truly fall in love. But one miracle and I end up pregnant. And the father is convinced he's in love with me. You know how it goes. You fall in love, get married, and have children, but is it possible to fall in love backwards?
