Based in 1950s Charlotte, North Carolina.

Gloria must endure the hurdles of integrating into a previously all-white high school. She is determined to survive her senior year and graduate without breaking. Being the first colored student set to graduate at a white school in the history of Charlotte, her family are counting on her.
Alex attends the newly integrated school. He struggles living under the shadow of his father, a powerful man affiliated with the school and a bigoted white supremacist.
Crossing paths, Gloria and Alex don't get on well at first, but somehow keep gravitating towards one another despite their differences, unveiling each other's secrets. Society forbids it, but what do the two think? Will their flame remain lit, or will they allow societal demands to put it out?

Or maybe, the segregated society doesn't determine their fate.All Rights Reserved

How to Fall... Without Trying To (GirlxGIRL) by QueenNiccy

Being gay is hard. Like really hard. Especially for a socially awkward introvert like Queen, who grew up single for fear of being out there. When Queen's friends make her a dating app profile, it all starts to change for her. She meets a few people that interest her and give her a little light of hope for her dating life. Lana is a high strong girl, with a dark past that she'd rather forget, who knows what she wants and knows how to get it, but when she meets Queen? That all changes. She starts to doubt who she is, a straight female that wants to marry a nice guy and live in a white picket fence home one day. Lana was only looking for friends on the dating app, but has she found more than that? This book has multiple characters in it with different points of views. It's not based off the two characters alone, but more on a group of people surrounding their lives. This book contains a lot of sexual content, strong language, and some mature content such as abuse. Read at your own discretion, I make no apologies ;)
