The Fuck List
Blake McDermott, a senior at Darwin High, has a reputation, and not a desirable one. After his girlfriend broke up with him in front of the entire school, leaving him humiliated, he decided to come up with a game of revenge. He had to make girls fall in love with him, sleep with him, then break their hearts. But when Asher Miller, the school's artsy, quiet, openly gay kid comes into the picture, the rules suddenly change after Blake realizes all the girls are too easy. To give him a real challenge, his friends want him to score Asher as his own. The catch? He needs to do it before school lets out and dump Asher on prom while also completing his list of all the girls in the school. Blake agrees, thinking it would be an easy win. However, Blake is homophobic, and sleeping with a guy would never be something he would do or something he even considered... or is it? What would happen if one of Blake's previous lovers came back into his life? What would happen if Blake falls for Asher and finds himself trapped in a love triangle? What happens when everything just goes entirely wrong? This is "The Fuck List." Similar to a bucket-list, "The Fuck List" is made to be completed within a certain amount of time. Unlike the rest of one's life for a bucket-list, there is only two years for the fuck list to be completed. Join Blake on an emotional journey of self-discovery, love, and devastating loss as he battles the relentless grip of addiction. Struggling to break free from his demons, he navigates the highs of fleeting happiness and the crushing lows of relapse, all while searching for redemption. As he fights to reclaim his life, he faces heartbreak, unexpected connections, and the weight of his past-forcing him to confront the painful truth that change is never easy. Will he find the strength to rise above, or will addiction pull him under once more?Complete
