Colleen Baker is the black sheep of a neighborhood-envied family. While the gated community offers the Bakers an elevator lift to the top of every social ladder, Colleen clings to the lower rungs. This is much to the dismay of her people-pleasing parents, who seek nothing more than the forced friendships as self-validation. When her unorthodox ways pose too great a threat to the indomitable Baker name, it is time for her to be shipped off to boarding school.
Upon arrival, Colleen's entire outlook on life is changed. Amidst a haze of fragmenting relationships, she collects her serrated remains and pieces them together to discover herself, all the while becoming familiar with what true pain and love looks like, leading her to the friendships of a lifetime.
Follow Colleen on her obstacle-ridden journey to realization in 'Dissonance'.

I just want you to want me too
Book 1 of 2 There is no doubt that this story is about love, but romance might be a smaller part of it. This story is about love in all of its different disguises. It's about friends and family who would burn the world for each other, and family who would burn the world to be away from one another. But mainly, this story is about Rose living out her last year in high school with all of its difficulties and hardships and love and acceptance and weird teachers and mythical creatures. And even after all of that, you're still mainly searching for romance? Fine. One of Rose's hardships is the undeniable truth that she's in love with her best friend, but her best friend doesn't love her back...right?Complete
