When Olivia Brown's life is upended because of her father leaving her mother, she starts to have a very rocky relationship with life. She faces trials and tribulations not many 17 years olds should have to, leaving her feeling hopeless. She becomes untrusting due to everything it throws at her, making her new found loneliness seem impossible and never ending.
Meeting Zac Tyler happens right in the middle of all her emotional turmoil. When he accidentally gets a glimpse into her life and sees exactly what's causing her stress, he involves himself in helping her through it. But Zac has his own set of issues with life, ones that he try's to hide from her. There is trauma they are both dealing with at the same time as they try and heal each other.
Will Olivia forever define herself with everything that happened before summer, or will she grow into the version of herself that forms after?

Running Parallel
*Work in progress, 2025* It was dark. He was drunk. It never should have happened Nineteen-year-old Luke may have pined over his best friend, Caleb, for the last few years, but he always thought Caleb wasn't interested. Until the night of the party, when he drank himself stupid to ignore his breaking heart, and he woke up in bed, alone, with the memory of what they'd done. In the days that follow, Luke grows more and more frustrated. Caleb only ever alludes to that night in indirect ways, and Luke can't understand why. He wants to talk to Caleb about it, but it's nearly impossible, especially when Caleb's busy smiling down at his phone. When tension between them finally hits its breaking point, Luke learns a devastating secret, one that Caleb hadn't even known he'd been keeping. Because the boy Luke slept with at the party?

Quiet and watchful, he studies people and tries to act like them, but something is always missing. Like being the last to hear the punchline. He goes through his days by following a routine and avoiding other people. It's not always easy with a social butterfly for a brother. He hadn't meant to lie. Hadn't even known he was lying until after. But by then, it was too late. He knew he couldn't tell the truth or he'd risk hurting those around him. Two versions of that night happened, but only one can be true.

"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me."

The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book.
