The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

The Other Side Of The Lens
"That was weird, but I can't stop my heart beating ten times faster than it should be. Laying down on the bed I face away from the bathroom door not wanting him to look at me. I pull the white cover up to my nose and look at the wall. I hear the bathroom door open and footsteps reach closer to the bed. The covers are being moved behind me as Mateo gets ready to sleep. I reach up to turn off the lap on my nightstand, and when I do we're left in the dark abyss of my room. Mateo's arm wraps itself around my waist and pulls me back into his hard chest. He gently lifts my head up and puts it back down onto his bicep. I take in a shaky breath and close my eyes deciding it is best to just sleep. Feeling his breath on the crown of my head, I'm more relaxed than I was before and start feeling sleepier by the second. But before sleep overtakes my mind. I hear Mateo mutter something.

Big sister Roseline is the crown jewel-married, pregnant, polished at the company. Baby sister Jessica shines at school with perfect plans. Nadine? She's the curvy one, the single one, the "too much" one-writing a Black culture column that her mama calls a hobby and her editor calls "rebrandable." When her column gets cut and her mama parades an ex like a solution, Nadine snaps. Writing is the only place she feels alive-she won't trade it for a smile and a husband. Then comes Tariq, the Ledger's golden boy, assigned as her "balance" on a new dating series about hit reality show Heatwave. He's infuriating, incisive, and the only man who gets under her skin without even touching her. Heavy Is the Middle is messy, sexy, and unapologetic-about body shame, Haitian family politics, and wanting more than survival. For every Black girl told she was too loud, too big, too single, or too much-and burned brighter anyway.Complete
