The first book in my standalone series called "Winterveil hearts" Valerie Anne Reed, the name alone makes her sound like a cute little girl who's never done anything wrong in her life. But being the twin sister of Alex, of all people, it's like all she does is wrong in some people's eyes. she's always been a bit abrasive, quick to snap if someone commented on her or her friends. but, falling in with people like her Ex boyfriend Nate Wilson and her current best friend Freya Winters made her even worse. now, she parties weekly, throwing parties of her own whenever her parents leave town, shes been a smoker for almost three years now, and she's not looking for redemption anytime soon. Milo Wesley Campbell, a sweet guy who has been friends with the apparent yin-yang twins that are Alex and Valerie. He's starting to realize how distant Val's getting, him and Alex spend most of their time together, at school, at practice, and at each other's houses, yet he now only sees her in passing. And it's really starting to get to him. Milo has always been on the right side of everything, never been grounded, never let his grades slip, he can't even bring himself to be rude to someone as a joke, yet he's been in love with Valerie for years. While he plays off his crush, pushing it down and acting the same as he always does, Valerie is drifting away, hoping her feelings will go away on their own. TW! Self harm and addiction
