***Jan 2016 - The Budding Roses has been selected as one of the TOP 10 ONE DIRECTION FANFICTIONS worth reading by Sugarscape! http://www.sugarscape.com/bookclub/news/a1085541/10-one-direction-fanfics-worth-reading-january/ *** Currently appearing on the Wattpad Fan fiction Featured List and selected for Wattpad's 'Back to school YA' Reading List. Set amidst a chaos of hilarity in 1990's Brighouse, West Yorkshire, The Budding Roses is a classic Young Adult coming of age novel which follows the anxious voice of teenager, Simone Rose, and her descent in to panic, as she struggles to cope with the all-consuming occupation of lusting after boys and the emotional exhaustion of never being able to find the right one. As Baywatch plays on the television Simone has just vomited for the twelfth time, which as she has established has to be God's secret punishment for her recent transgression with the loathsome Harry Styles. At least she has Baywatch to maintain her spirits during illness, and it is from her sick bed that she falls in love for the first time with tanned, floppy haired Adonis, life guard Eddie Kramer. Powered back to health by her emerging amour, Simone soon realises that the coal blackened streets of Brighouse offer just as many hotties as the far flung beaches of Southern California. If only best friend, precocious know it all, Natasha could share her romantic sensibilities instead of chasing after Harry and his stupid football or worse still High School's newest hero, Liam Payne. Why can't such losers bog off and stop embarrassing her with their immaturities? Unfortunately for Simone, such luck is not to be hers.

Liam's brows knotted together in confusion and his innocent brown eyes looked deeply into mine. He shook his head slightly. "I-I don't understand." He stuttered out. "I have been using you for the past month to get publicity." I couldn't seem to look into his eyes any longer so I looked down at my feet. My chest was constricting in a strange pain. "Using me?" He slowly said those two words, testing them out. I peeked up at him to gauge his expression. I knew it was a dumb idea to look at him in the first place but what I saw I didn't expect. He looked extraordinarily calm...The calm before the storm, I guess you could say. His eyes met mine and that's when everything clicked. "Using me." Liam shook his head in understanding causing me to knot my eyebrows in confusion this time. Why was he so calm about this? Why does it sound like he understands? "Yes, using you..." I spoke slowly.

(BOOK ONE) Love, hate, anger, sadness, excitement and nervousness are only a few of the emotions we all feel at some point in our lives. Some feelings we want to keep to ourselves. Maybe it's the sadness we still feel for an old love when everyone believes we have moved on. Or maybe it's the anger we are feeling towards a friend for lying. Whatever it is, we all have feelings we would like to keep secret. There are also emotions other people have that we don't want to know. Like a crush who may secretly hate our existence. Or the person we just made fun of; we wouldn't want to know how depressed and suicidal they are. Feelings are kept secret from many people. That's life. But not for me. After a traumatic event in her childhood, Riley discovers she has an unbelievable ability, an ability that allows her to feel the emotions of other people. For years she has been hiding her ability, but will she be able to keep it a secret from everyone? (Cover made by@chocolatygirlfaiquXO)
