Eight friends. Eight different points of view. One city that never sleeps.
In the heart of New York City, eight friends in their late 20's and early 30's are navigating the chaos of growing up, falling in love, and figuring it all out-one mistake at a time. From rooftop parties in Brooklyn, to late-night heartbreaks in the East Village, Doing Our Best takes you deep inside the intertwined lives of Logan, Jonah, Lucie, Sonny, Vanessa, Benji, Alli, and Will.
Told through eight distinct perspectives this is a story about friendship- how it bends, breaks, and sometimes saves us. It's about the drama that follows a bad decision, the electric highs of a new romance, the gut-punch of betrayal, and the quiet beauty of forgiveness. These friends will learn that adulthood isn't about having it all together- it's about holding each other up when everything feels like it's falling apart.

[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS
They say that in life, we all have three great loves. The first arrives in adolescence-innocent, filled with dreams and illusions. The second teaches you pain, and you cling to it even knowing it was never meant to be. It's the kind of love you once wished would last forever, but instead, it helped you grow. The third love is the one you never saw coming. You let it happen without expectations-just you, allowing yourself to be surprised. It's the love that heals old wounds and makes you genuinely happy. It's the love that teaches you how to love for real. It's the true one. This story is dedicated to all those still carrying wounds from that second love. Don't be afraid to move forward. Don't shut your heart, even if it's in a thousand pieces. Something better is coming.Complete
Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete
