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.

Tay Perez had always thought a perfect high school career was his God-given right. He had it all; perfect grades, scholarships to big-name schools, and football skills. Everything someone like him needs in Tennessee.
But all that is stripped away when a car accident takes away his brother and his chances at a Division I scholarship. Although his body healed, his vision hasn't. He might never play football again, and the prospect has left him bitter and unhappy.
Emori Hagen was "the fat girl" all her life. She grew accustomed to people laughing at her. But, with the help of her determination, she lost all the weight and finally achieved the body of her dreams. The only thing left to remind her of her past is the aching feeling every time she eats an apple instead of a cookie.
What Emori isn't expecting on her return to school is to find a broken Tay Statin who no longer smiles, rarely speaks, and doesn't care about anything or anyone around him. He's just existing. But the pain in his eyes is something she understands all too well. Can Emori help him find the hope he has lost?
