80s 90s chicklit feminist firstpartonly magicalrealism satire

Awake is a satire with magical realism elements. Elizabeth Edwards, a befuddled and heartbroken young twenty-something, lives in Boston in the early 90's while slaving away at a marginal restaurant and trying to deal with her first major heartbreak. Addressing it in the most logical way-bedding random inapproriate men- she awakens after a night of typical restaurant worker recreational drug  debauchery...in 2015 in a Paris, Texas hospital room. 
Confused about the last night she was awake, how she ended up in a 24 year coma, how she is going to piece together the mystery of what happened to her best friend, her missing father, her estranged, yuppie brother- who is now a monk in Nepal?- and her "biggest mistake ever", Elizabeth has to piece together her past while confronting her present. In the process she needs to learn to become fully honest with herself and "awake" and see life for what it is, not what she wants it to be.All Rights Reserved

$Love Arranged to Last Forever {COMPLETED} by kloe_bookworm$

A story in which a young girl has to discover who she truely is in the confines of an arranged marriage, and has to find a way to get out of the arrangement so she can be with with the love of her life. She must decide if she should give up her parents wishes and marry the one they chose, or go her own way, and pave her own path with a choice she never dreamed of. ❌❌❌❌ I began editing this book to change some major things, but I realized too much will have to be changed. Many things do not line up, mainly due to the fact that I wrote this right when I started out and was completely immature. I do not have the time right now to fix this, and so it will probably always stay the flawed, messed up child in the family. I love the story anyway so please no hate. I did work hard on this. If you don't mind all of this, continue! And happy reading :) Cover: @worldgirlalwaysxx

Obsession. by jezxzica

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.

The Moving Times Of Caroline Proudly by CarolineProudly

Caroline is 16 when she suddenly decides that her perfectly normal and loving home life is absolutely and completely intolerable. Suddenly moving out of home in 1988 is the beginning of a 13 year journey. As the journey continues, the passage of time has no significance. Always with the ability to find the humorous side, each address marks another chapter in Caroline's life and is the backdrop for the people she meets and the events that occur. Accommodation varies from unheated rooms and houses with wheel-less cars jacked-up outside to Regency flats and rural cottages. Transportation means vary from a single use bicycle, to Betsa and the faithful Dwanetta. Flatmates vary from a lovely Brummie and a singing nun to a dying dog, a ginger laminator, a 3 nippled geek and an accidental spell with a local drugs baron. Events vary from harbouring boarding schoolgirls, exercising racehorses, the occasional rave, trading in shampoo and marmite on toast to looking for stolen laundry, going undercover and self-defence with a hockey stick. Jobs vary from not having one to shop work, bartending and au pair through to getting a toe on the corporate ladder. There is infatuation, and love from various sources so there is also disappointment, and breakups by varying means and for various reasons. Education varies from a bit of formal study to a large dollop of the University of Life. The latter being the real reason Caroline left home in the first place - to grow up in her own way through her own experiences with no-one else to blame but herself and the interesting hand that life deals along the way. Caroline moves home 19 times, only to find that the 20th move takes her to the last place she ever expected to be. Back where she started. Things aren't always as they seem...

Unhappily Ever After by BhavanaBaswan

This book hopes to visit the Fairytales that we all grew up reading, the ones that started with 'Once upon a time' and ended with '...and they lived happily ever after'. The author attempts to point out some disturbing points that might have skipped us altogether. This might just be a useful tool in helping us realize that what lies beneath the surface of a seemingly harmless story, is in fact quite the contrary. We could begin by trying to change the text so that future generations grow up reading stories that are uplifting and empowering.
