in·se·cure/ adjective (of a person) not confident or assured; uncertain and anxious. Catalina Delarosa has lived in fear her whole life. Fear of love, yet fear of being alone. Fear of being vulnerable, but fear of letting anyone in. August Alsina, the troubled, mysterious boy that she seems to hate was always able to find a way under her skin. There were dark secrets inside of him that he planned on taking to the grave. Well- he did until she somehow found out each of his secrets. On her journey of self-love and his of self-destruct, they are forced to spend a month together that erupts into the life changing event neither of them could've predicted.

Many people don't know me, but I don't know who me is either. I can't tell you if I'm the loud or rude stereotypical black girl because Mom would say I need to speak up. I'm using my library voice with strangers. I can't tell you I'm the introvert because I like good company. I was born into a world that judges me before they get to know me. And try to attack the concept of happiness. I need it most in this filthy world we live in. I need you. Because you listened and didn't say a word. Just you being there was enough to make me believe you understood the troubles in my sentences and words spoken in a foreign language. I want myself back but I can't remember who I was. || Ebonee desires life to the fullest content as a brown skin but is constantly faced with life's realities that can never turn into her sudden dreams. As she is constantly faced with comparisons of her beauty, cruel judgment, and love she didn't expect it to turn out so unplanned in her premeditated life. || || Then there's Beau, who lives such a different world outside of the way Ebonee sees it as he tries to determine who is his out to kill him. Living two different worlds in hope to find a middle ground, somewhere, between light and dark, in the novel of BROWN SKIN. ||

"Cain, if you can't leave the streets for me and our baby, then me and you, we're done." I pointed between the two of us as tears streamed down my face and he bit his lip, looking down at the floor before he looked back up into my eyes. "Aight." "Shit over then, babygirl."
