All You Need Is Love! ...and a smirking Jerk.

Karmen Forden has known Charlie Hansson for as long as she can remember-literally. From the moment she could talk, he's been in her life... and not always in the best way.

Growing up with a massive crush on your childhood friend is hard enough, but for Karmen, it's been a full-blown emotional rollercoaster. Charlie teased her relentlessly in kindergarten, embarrassed her in front of everyone in middle school, and by high school? He barely acknowledged her existence. Talk about whiplash.

Then comes that day-one unlucky, chaotic, emotionally exhausting day-where she keeps running into him. Over and over. Until-bam!-she literally falls on top of him. The next thing she knows, she's in the hospital with a concussion and a whole new problem: Charlie Hansson won't leave her alone.

On top of that, Karmen's dealing with some very real-life stress. Her parents are divorced. Her dad left when she and her sister were young, leaving behind emotional wreckage she's still trying to clean up. She's juggling the pressure of a broken family, deep trust issues, and a painful memory she's buried for years. She's guarded, angry, and done pretending things are okay.
So why now-after everything-is Charlie suddenly paying attention? Why is he showing up, trying to help, trying to care? Is he serious, or is this just another phase of Hansson-grade nonsense?

Was their sudden string of "accidental" run-ins the universe's twisted idea of fate? Or is it just one more thing pushing Karmen toward a total mental breakdown?
Whatever the case, this might just be the start of something unexpected... or a one-way ticket to emotional chaos.

⚠️ WARNING:
This book is your classic Wattpad comfort read-full of angst, drama, and yes, lots of unrealistic teenage behavior. Written when I was 13-14, so expect immaturity, sarcasm, and characters who probably swear more than necessary. You've been warned. 😋
