"I write to facilitate myself with my deepest emotions."
How much can a book cover hold or represent? How authentic can the artwork of a book jacket be? What stories do they tell? Do these covers bear the artistic weight of their books?
Through deeply personal episodes, the writer talks about the complex ideas of book covers and his complicated relationship with them.

Fake It | ✔️
Sugar McKenzie and August Wakefield couldn't be more different - Sugar, a meticulous, caring, but lonely paramedic and August, a charming former reality star still chasing his dream. But they've both closed themselves off emotionally from others...that is until they match with each other on a dating app. After a disastrous first date, the two agree to never see each other again, yet they both can't stop thinking about one another, and circumstances keep pulling them back into each other's lives. Are they the real answer each other dreams, or will they continue to go through their lives hiding behind walls, just faking it? _________________________________________________________________________________ • Second Draft • { Wattpairs Mentorship Challenge 2020: Second Place Winner } { Wattpad Chicklit Ambassador: Adulthood Reading List } { Romance Reads Contest 2019: First Place Late Lovers } { Best of Summer Awards 2018: Best in Show "ChickLit" Winner } { Best of Summer Awards 2018: Judge's Pick Winner } { Blossom Awards 2018: First Place "ChickLit" Winner } { Contemporary Romantics Award: #RomanticsAwards2022: Shortlist } { Wattpad NA Ambassador: Hold My Stilettos | August 22, 2022 } { Chicklit #26 rating on September 6, 2022 } { Enemies to friends to lovers #5 on September 18, 2022 } { Onlinedating #1 on September 5, 2023 } { Texttospeech #10 on May 13, 2024 } { Contemporary #10 on May 13, 2024 } ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Only on Wattpad.

Dim.
Tired of trying to be everything. Trying to be perfect. Wrong paths and wrong people and missed opportunities. Am I letting my mental illness take over my life? A look into the mind of a BPD, Anxiety ridden woman. With no identity but her Panic. With my ways it's hard to keep down anything healthy, relationships that don't last but stay with me like my own personal demons. And evil around the corner you'd never see coming. The pain changes you. Trauma changes you. It strips you away from yourself. BPD strips away your identity sometimes I guess this is my way of finding myself again, through writing and reflecting and realizing it is okay to be hurting. This book will include poetry and scenes and think pieces. It will be vulnerable. It will be raw. It will remind you of your own loss. - "She." Xx🥀xXComplete
