3rd place in romance in the Ocean Blue Awards!! Ranking #2 "lost loves" on 7/05/19....Lacey's life had been going nowhere recently, especially with all the rain that had been hitting her small hometown. Rainy days and nights would have usually been a writer's dream, to be able to snuggle up in a sweater with a cup of coffee and write for hours. Truth be told she had been struggling with more than just her writing. Lost loves and lost love ones made her feel like she was the one lost. Will heartache and a bit of cynicism keep her from finding true love, or is true love nothing more than a fabricated love story we write on paper? **Weekly updates, normally post one chapter per week** ***A big thank you @danpaul01 for my making my cover*** ***Author or cover maker do not own the cover picture.

⎾ They say, "look on the bright side" and I have. But what happens when the bright side is the only thing I can see? What happens when I believe the dark side doesn't exist anymore? If I keep looking on the bright side, it's just a matter of time until the dark side takes that too. ⏌ From a young age, Zandria Racheal and her little brother Keith learned the word pain. Day after day they are abused by their unforgiving mother. With a father constantly away on business, Zandria has found it hard to tell family and friends about the monster living inside her mother. The fear of judgement, abandonment and change forces Zandria to keep the abuse a secret. To cope, she builds walls, high walls. When she steps out the front door or when she records a new video for her YouTube channel, Zandria feels she's no longer a victim of abuse, but the perfect sixteen-year-old everyone thinks she is. For years this tactic has been working, but what happens when she meets a certain brown-eyed boy that can see the pain behind her smile? Join Zandria as she learns that everyone has a dark side and the only way to defeat the darkness is to let the world shine its light. *Marked Mature for graphic description of violence*

Marley is good at pretending. Pretending that she's not traumatized by her sister's death. Pretending that she doesn't feel guilty for being the cause of the accident that killed her sister. Pretending she's fine. Even her closest friends are unaware of her past. Omitting the truth is now just part of her. Until Liam, the persistent and flirtatious nephew of her next-door-neighbors moves in. For some reason, Marley finds it hard to keep her carefully constructed façade intact around Liam. For the last three years her guilt has made her try to make up for her sister's absence. Formerly a rebel without a cause with abysmal grades and an even worse attendance record, she has turned a 180 and became the perfect student with perfect grades in an attempt to go to med school, which was her sister's biggest dream. Marley figures if she can achieve June's dreams, then maybe she isn't completely gone, maybe she didn't just die for nothing Maybe her parents will finally utter her name again. Maybe her overwhelming guilt will finally go away. Maybe she'll finally, truly be at peace. Cover by @flowermindd

*Closed For Catch Up* Welcome to my review book, in case the title didn't give it away. Here I'll be occasionally taking review/feedback requests, though they may take a little time to complete due to my life outside of wattpad... and the whole writing business, since I do have a fair few works up on here.

*ONGOING* Heartbreak doesn't always hold a person down, eventually things get better overtime as they say. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Pain can drive a person to the darkest of places.
