Eighteen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains sensitive topics such as suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and more. If you are easily triggered, please refer to another, more light-hearted, book on my profile.

Layla Gabriel was living on a rollercoaster. With extreme highs and lows, one hour of the day was not like the next. Nobody, not even Layla, knew what her emotions had in store for her that day. It was a cruel surprise, but despite it all, she managed to make it to the ripe age of eighteen.

Adrian Macon was the golden boy of Lancaster High. He was a sight for sore eyes and born with a silver spoon in his mouth. With his money and glory, everything and everyone seemed to come at hand for him. Girls swooned over him, boys admired him, and elders compared their own children to him.

For Adrian and Layla to cross paths seems like a mistake the universe could've made. He was the sun and she was the moon.

🥀 = a chapter will talk in depth about character's personal experience with possible triggering topics.

-in no way is my purpose to romanticize or ridicule mental illness and health. i speak very passionately about these certain topics and would never wish to belittle the severity of them.-
