Violetta Emery has had the misfortune of experiencing many tragedies in her life. Because of that, she's lost hope in most things. But she does have two good things going for her: her dog Olive and her best friend Eleanor, the literal light of her life. Not that she'd ever admit that to her. Feelings and vulnerability are not something that comes easy to Violet, especially since she always feels like she's two breaths away from a panic attack. Therapy helps which she goes to frequently but it never feels like enough. Eleanor tries her best to be there for her but sometimes it feels like her efforts are futile. Will this friendship even last or will El finally have enough of Violet's quick trigger anger and drama? Will Violet ever get better or is she destined to live a miserable, lonely life? Enter Sebastián Everett, the new guy who no one seems to know anything about. Well nothing other than the fact that he transferred to Wilson High with his younger brother, Phoenix. And that he clearly only has eyes for Violet, not that her oblivious ass ever notices. Are Seb's feelings for Violet genuine or just a high school disaster? Will Violet even allow him anywhere near her or is this all just doomed from the start? Read on to find out!

Ok so let me start by saying, this book has no storyline. It's just a book filled with memories and thoughts of different moments in my life. But you should give it a try anyway! And, as a warning--I'm a naturally blunt person and my writing will definitely express that. I'm not trying to offend anyone; I'm just sharing my truth. If you'd like to follow my IG, I post writing pieces there too plus my face and my dog so ya- @mm.ari_

At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth. After all, he had everything. He was a captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith. He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized that he didn't like girls. No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself. Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, they boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent. The boy that changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.
