Jada moved to Berlin for a fresh start, not a love story. Freshly single and determined to rebuild her life, she expects loneliness, difficult coworkers and the occasional terrible date. What she does not expect is for reality itself to start behaving like a romantic comedy. Strangers serenade her. Men appear whenever she needs rescuing. Old crushes return at exactly the right moment. Every coincidence, every song and every suspiciously perfect act of care delivers the same message: The universe has chosen Jada for romance. There is only one problem. Jada wants no part of it. The harder she resists, the more romantic, invasive and impossible her world becomes. Now Jada must discover whether Berlin is playing an elaborate joke, whether she is losing her mind, or whether fate itself is forcing her towards a happily ever after. Because if love refuses to take no for an answer, how far will she have to go to escape it? a chapter or two weekly!

THE UNIVERSE IS LOVEBOMBING ME AND I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO Story by Lakaaysha

This is normal. This is platonic. My best friend is sitting on my lap. My roommate is asleep in the next room. Amsterdam is in lockdown. And I am fine. I am not fine. Jill Wijntuin is a 25-year-old spoken word poet with no stage, no income, and a five-year crush on the very straight best friend she should have gotten over years ago. Then her ceiling floods, her room becomes unlivable, and she ends up in her roommate Tara's bed. Tara is not part of the plan. Tara is weird and dramatic and dangerously comfortable with personal space. She keeps looking at Jill like she can see something Jill is trying very hard not to say out loud. Locked inside a Jordaan apartment with one crush she needs to survive and one roommate she absolutely should not want, Jill makes three emergency plans: Plan A: survive lockdown without losing her mind. Plan B: stop being in love with her very straight best friend. Plan C: avoid Tara at all costs. Unfortunately, Tara lives here. #2 Lesbian romance #13 Slowburn #1 Quarantine #4 Lesbianfiction #1 Amsterdam #5 queerromance
