Mask of Celibacy by Carolyn_Hill

In the late nineties asexuality is all but ignored as an orientation. Jess doesn't understand her complex array of emotions or why she finds it so hard to relate to her fellow classmates. Catholic high schools and churches simply don't address the issue, and the internet is still nascent. Jess can't tell anyone the truth. Not even her best friend Care. Instead, she hides behind the guise of faith. Behind a mask of celibacy. Until she meets Eric, that is. He lets slip that he's asexual, and Jess wants to learn more. --- Watty Winner 2021 for best cover, best YA, and the Wattpad Books prize! --- Status: completed and unedited Rating: PG-15 for moderate language and frank discussions about sexuality Genre: teen fiction romance featuring two heteroromantic ace characters --- Cover designed using Canva Pro August 2020 --- Please note: This work is a teen fiction novelization of my multimedia novella "Mask of Celibacy".

However, things don't quite go according to plan, and she ends up tangled up with a mysterious woman who's been ostracized from her own community. As fate brings the two women together, Willow is forced to make a decision. Should she honour the rigid expectations of society to keep her and her family's reputation safe, or should she follow her heart and defy the community in the name of love? "Nobody seems like a good person if you know every single thing there is to know about them. But most people are good people on the surface and most often don't have wrong intentions for being so. I'd say that still makes them good people," 📚Featured on Wattpad Ambassadors' Short Stories reading list! 📜
