I'm Liliah. Sixteen, almost seventeen. I hate being me. Why? Ten reasons: 1. I'm stuck in Muxleigh - a suffocating seaside town. 2. My mum only cares when it affects her. 3. My step-dad runs our house on fear. 4. I'm failing the person I love most: my six-year-old sister, Forsythia. 5. I don't know who I am... or why I'm here. 6. I attacked the worst boy in town - now I'm hated, and he's still worshipped. 7. My vice? It's leaving scars. 8. My mental health? Apparently I belong in a psych ward. 9. Bexmoore was meant to be a fresh start. It wasn't. 10. I had two chances at something real... and I ruined them both. I'm at breaking point. Hiding in the dirt, literally, I'm not joking. What I hate the most? How alone I feel. Maybe telling my story means someone else won't feel like this. Before it's too late.

First arc. For all my Latin friends reading this For some reason this is number one on the Latino category, arc 2 (Devil's Daughter) has much better Latino representation and features a Latino protagonist. Read that if you're here solely for representation Please vote and follow me if you enjoyed this. 1952, Jersey City. America is turned inside out. Follow a detective navigating a version of 1950s America where the social order and cultural rules aren't just different, they've completely flipped like a big fat Tortoise on its back.

Behind the lens, she found the man behind the fame. Luna Johnson, a sharp-tongued photographer with a knack for sarcasm, lands the opportunity of a lifetime: documenting the international tour of Off the Record, one of the world's biggest rock bands. A lifelong fan of their music-until she meets their infuriatingly smug lead singer, Kai Steele, in an apartment in Monaco. From the moment their paths cross, sparks fly in all the wrong ways. Luna sees Kai as the epitome of everything she loathes: arrogant, reckless, and all too aware of his charm. Kai, however, finds her unshakable wit and refusal to fall for his irresistibly intriguing. Their first meeting sets the tone for what becomes a constant battle of wills, their sharp banter and fiery chemistry impossible to ignore. For Luna, Kai is a maddening contradiction: both infuriating and captivating. For Kai, Luna is the first person to challenge him in years and the one who might just break through his carefully constructed walls. As they clash, collide, and ultimately connect, they learn that love doesn't come without scars.
