Sydra Neely is 17 years old and headed off to college. Southern University of Baton Rouge, Louisiana  to be exact. It was close enough to home but far enough away so that she had her space. She vows to be more of an outgoing person in college than she was in high school. Sydra is happy because she finally gets to be herself in college without being compared to her twin, Ambrosia. She also gets to express her talent, which is singing. Her happiness grows when she meets rich-and-popular-but-far-from-stuck-up Bry'ceon Williams. He's a sophomore that plays in Southern's band, also known as the 'Human Jukebox', and shows her around the campus. Soon, they become best friends and Sydra's feelings for him began to grow. She doesn't act on them because he has a girlfriend, even though she treats him like shit and is only with him for his social status, though he can't see it. He unintentionally breaks her heart every time she seems them together. And does Bry'ceon have some issues of his own? Sydra thought that once she got to college things would be better, but she finds herself fading into the background. Again.

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in all the madness? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that left her at loss of what to do! As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system--can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover? [*Wattpad Editor's Pick 2018*] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]] Readers say: "This had me laughing so loud that my sister came to check up on me to see if I'm OK!!!" "...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother, annoying vegetarian and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?).
