At 21, Tom Harrison's life was supposed to be coming together-but instead, it's falling apart. Broke, drowning in college deadlines, and stuck in a soul-crushing job, he's barely holding it together. The future he's chasing feels more like a trap than a dream.
Between fleeting romances and gut-wrenching betrayals, Tom is forced to confront the harsh realities of love, identity, and adulthood. Every failure feels like the end of the world, and every success is just out of reach. But as he stumbles through heartbreak, chaos, and the weight of his own expectations, Tom begins to discover something bigger: the messy, beautiful truth about finding your place in the world in the midst of your twenties.

Can be read as a Stand-Alone) WARNING: This is one of the first books I started writing! Because it took a while to finish, the later Chapters have more of my newer (better) writing style compared to the beginning. This is a much more dramatic, angst type of book compared to my fluff-filled others. If you want slight frustration and cuteness all the way through, nearly every other book I have fits that description. Thank you ❤ Started: November 16, 2016 Completed: June 25, 2019Complete

Bad Cupid (BoyxBoy)
The ancient Greeks said Cupid's arrows could make you fall in love, but what if those arrows hit the wrong person? And what if that person was Eastwood High's most notorious bad boy? Dylan Dexwell was the opposite of a typical guy - his quick wit was laced with cutting sarcasm, his sense of humor an acquired taste. But everything changed when his father was transferred to San Diego, and Dylan had to start all over again, with a secret. On his first day at his new school, Dylan was immediately the center of attention. His white hair set him apart from the other students. But his looks weren't the only thing drawing eyes - it was also the sight of him stumbling into the school's most notorious bad boy, the captain of the football team and his troublesome mouth. He knew he was gay, but he wasn't ready to come out - especially not to his parents. As Dylan settled into his new school, he soon met the most colorful group of people imaginable. There was the sassy cheerleader with the razor-sharp wit, the cheerful sweet guy Dylan could tell had a secret, and the jerk who became his half. Dylan found himself arguing with the stunningly handsome biggest jerk of Eastwood high at every turn, and soon they were butting heads and getting each other into all sorts of trouble. But then, in a moment of confusion and chaos, their lips met. And everything changed. Was it love or hate that was igniting between them? And what would happen when these two polar opposites start to feel a spark? Things can't get worse in Eastwood, right? Wrong. This isn't your typical gay love story. It's worse.
