{A #PrideatWattpad Book Club Selection} A revised version of my unsuccessful entry to the @Wattpad One That Got Away anthology. VERY loosely inspired by the movie Legally Blonde but YA and gayer with way more Black people. After Yves' girlfriend Loren dumps her for nonbinary school genius Phoenix Belmont, she decides to prove she's just as smart as her replacement by running against Loren for student body president. But her plans to use her wits to win Loren back are foiled when Yves starts catching feelings for the person her ex left her for. All's fair in love and politics, until they come to high school. © 2020-present Idris Grey

LIKE THEM; the cunning, the strong, the rational, the sensual, the rash. POE19 [151016]

A collection of short stories in which the root of their love is simultaneously the harbinger of their demise. Because the risque of the heart's desires is often found embedded in the knife jutting through it. "...you're writing style is top-notch, especially on how you describe and highlight every detail..." - @_mnmlst "THIS WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! The third book just was amazing without words needed" - @IreneCallista07 "Overall, you did a spectacular work right there! Now, excuse me for a moment-there's something on my eye..." -@vyrdanne

In which a millennial black boy discovers the power of his thoughts and the impact of a pen. The consequences thereafter are devastating. A collection of shitty poems and real life experiences narrated from the perspective of a charcoal dreamer.
