An artistic playboy? Never heard that one before. - Parker Ly was a full package-intelligent, good-looking, sporty, and a bad boy. Oh yes, he was also an artist. He also had a secret; he fell in love with a girl in ripped jeans and a blue bomber jacket who only came out at night. He didn't even know her real name, but he knew he had to have her. Mae Chen wore Hollister hoodies and read books while walking to class-no one would expect her to be the dark-haired beauty who ran under the stars and appeared at only the wildest parties. But when Mae is paired up with one of Parker's best friends for a month long project, it gets harder and harder to keep up the mask. How long will she last? Parker is getting more curious by the day, but something is fishy about the girl his best friend had been partnered with. And another problem: was he falling for this girl? 「book one in the Liberal Academy series」

Drinking was her savior... until it almost got her killed. - Mae Chen is an artist who's lucky to be alive. She is also an artist with a useless painting hand and even more useless eyes. After a devastating car accident that landed her in the emergency room, Mae has just awoken from the short coma she was in only to find that the one thing she was good at can no longer be her talent. Because blind girls can't paint, especially with their non-dominant hand. Dustin Jin regrets everything that happened during winter break. He wished he talked to Mae when he had the chance. He wished he didn't kiss that random girl on New Years. And he wished he told Mae that he was sorry and that he really liked her. But the next best thing that this rich kid with poor problems can do is suck it up and be there for her this time. Parker Ly used to be a player until he got to know Mae Chen. Now the girl he used to like, and still may like, is struggling to get back on her feet. These three, along with all of the other supportive people in their lives, are going to have to finally work everything out. Mae will have to slowly find a future in her now darkened eyes, but she won't have to go through it alone. In the sequel to Doodle Heart, Mae will have to rewrite her plans and hope for the future. 「book two in the Liberal Academy series」 **MUST READ DOODLE HEART (book one) BEFORE THIS ONE**
