Flaming Youth is a 1923 book, controversial in its time, by Samuel Hopkins Adams. The novel was adapted into the silent movie Flaming Youth in 1923. In his retrospective essay "Echoes of the Jazz Age," writer F. Scott Fitzgerald argued that Adams' novel persuaded certain moralistic Americans that their young girls could be "seduced without being ruined" and thus altered the sexual mores of the nation.

*Must Read Book* If you love YA (18+ Romance/Drama/Suspense/Emotional) ( based on true events ) + exaggerated fiction NSFW 18+ , highly detailed sexual themes (smut) intense and realistic emotional drama Young Adult Book humor involved {Shawn Maxwell wasn't supposed to notice me. The golden boy with secrets stitched into his smile, the one everyone admired but nobody really knew. But secrets have a way of finding each other.} High school is supposed to be simple. But for Shawn, nothing is simple anymore. At first, Taro is just the new kid-annoying, innocent, untouchable. A challenge. Someone to provoke, to tease, maybe even to dismiss. But as days pass, the teasing turns into tension. The tension turns into obsession. What begins as dislike slowly spirals into attachment, then into a raw, consuming love-emotional, messy, and impossible to ignore. Lust, desire, and vulnerability intertwine, forcing Shawn to confront every part of himself he's worked so hard to hide. Taro is new to this world, to trust, but not intimacy... and Shawn knows that every choice, every glance, every heartbeat could ignite something unforgettable-or destroy it completely. A story of high school chaos, stolen moments, emotional upheaval, and a love so fierce it refuses to stay hidden.Complete
meant to be yours | d.w
Rebecca's light bulb has been flickering on and off for precisely seventeen years. The constant rotation of cocktail parties and questioning every human in her path is annihilating. And if there is one person who she believes to be the cause of weakening her even when she left her previous life behind, it is Dallas Winston. He has every terrible trait bestowed in him. He never takes the burden of morality, he only dodges it until he is the embodiment of terror. It is too easy to despise him. For who truly doesn't? But little do they know that they are far more similar than they would like to think. And whether they would prefer to admit it or not (they most indefinitely do not, for they are stubborn as hell), he was meant to be hers, and she was meant to be his. Disclaimers: *there will be talk of sexual assault, acts of violence, racism, sexuality, classism, etc. So if you're not comfortable with any of those things don't read! I really want this book to be realistic to the time period and bring to light how people were treated but if I miss anything important please let me know!Complete

Project You
Adrienne Lace's life was a mess. A big mess. A 22 year old college student who was not only financially struggling, she was emotionally struggling too, a girl with no friends other than her novels and thoughts which unfortunately did not make for good company. She had so much to pay for, always had so much to do, helping her mother, her grandmother and herself all at once. She was drowning, sinking so damn low, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to swim back up anymore. That is until she's paired up with her antithesis, Karsen Krist, for an assignment that will cost them most of their grade in their final year of college. Unlike Adrienne, Karsen was rich, happy, the college's star football player who as she spends more time with realizes is not as horrible as she thought he'd be, and actually, is just as human as she is. Except that he is much too talkative, too flirty, too smart, too sweet and unfortunately, a little too... desirable. But when you've been in a box so long, it becomes your new home, whether it's comfortable or not. Will he be able to get her out of that box? Or will all their potential end up going in vain? *** #1 in books #1 in art #1 in reversegrumpyxsunshine #1 in collegeromance #1 in player #1 in forcedproximity #1 in flirty #1 in grumpygirl #1 in project #1 in opposites #1 in growth
