I hate this book even as the writer.*** Samantha Sumner was the definition of "sheltered." During her life, her parents have been babying and sheltering her eyes and ears from the outside world. If you were to ask her what the b-word or what the alternative meaning to a hot dog meant, she would literally believe that they meant "beautiful" and "a delicious carnival treat." However, when her parents die in a fatal car accident, she's forced to move in with her older brother, Jason, where she's forced to finish her senior year at a public school and meet strange new people. Even though Jason continues to baby Samantha, her world suddenly turns upside down as she meets Jason's best friend, the alluring Isabelle Chase. Isabelle Chase is vindictive, outgoing, and absolutely crazy when it comes to girls and partying. So, when she lays her eyes on the completely innocent Samantha Sumner, she can't help but play a dangerous game of cat and mouse. However, falling deeper into a web of lies and toxicity, Samantha's innocence slowly dissolves as she learns how unfair the world can be to not only herself, but to the people that surround her everyday life. A story of relationships, lust, deception, and a tad bit of awkwardness follows the story of a carefree lesbian and a naive eighteen-year-old, ultimately leading to how each person can strongly affect another. ***** WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT INSIDE DO NOT READ IF OFFENDED BY MATURE CONTENT ****** THIS IS a (girlxgirl) story.

Allen Ginsberg is reminiscing about his time with Lucien, awaiting Lucien's release from prison. Will they reconcile and give in to their love?

After a particularly terrible experience with her adoptive father and a few drinks, Rebecca Harrison finds her much-needed escape from reality in her soon-to-be biology teacher. When the two meet again at the beginning of the school year, neither know what to make of the situation. But their conflict with each other is no match for the conflict Rebecca faces with her adoptive father, and the two soon find themselves developing a relationship that tests both of their willingness to let others in. For entirely different reasons, they find themselves pushing each other away. Until they realize that their reasons aren't so different at all. This story is girlxgirl, teacherxstudent, and it deals with topics such as abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. It's my best work but it can be depressing at times & may be triggering to some. [Editing on-going, Sequel - TBD]
