Ola Murphy is tired of shitty men in her life-and she's tired of being hung up on shitty men. After her dog dies, her apartment floods, and she discovers that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend, Ola finds herself stuck at her cousin's townhome with absolutely no direction as to what she should do after college graduation and no desire to find one. When an ad for a renovated tiny home van falls into her life, though, that all changes.
On a shotgun road trip across the U.S., Ola starts a journey to independence, searching for what she hopes to be the feminist manifesto of documentaries. She goes cliff jumping, stays up all night to see the sunrise with a man she just met, and, even when a tire blows out, finds pride in her growing independence.
But, after an old family figure suddenly walks back into her life with devastating news, Ola begins to learn that you can only outrun your problems for so long before there's nowhere left to run-or hide. And she is forced to discover her own meaning of feminism and independence.

Reflections
I am a regular, shitty, but pretty fucking awesome human, I've seen things of beauty, and some damn right gruesome, A young (ish) woman, who has fucked up a lot, So imagine how many of life's lessons I've got. Though I have been humbled, on several occasions, The resilient idiot I am, just cracks on, bruised and brazen. Still fucking up, of course, from time to time, Though I do hope to make it, a less frequent habit of mine. This novel ere, is a wanky catharsis for me, A place to swaddle my self-doubt, in prose and to be. I have lived many lives, of inconvenience and indulgence, Not always have I thrived, but I can boast experience. With failures to toast and wins to boast, I do hope my words, will keep you engrossed, I've circled the ditch and been in some scraps, Situations from which, I thought I'd never come back. What I can offer now, is a unique perspective. And at the very least, you can read, How not to do what this twat did.

Connections | ✔️
[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

2 Truths & 1 Lie
AUTHOR NOTE: this is my rough draft of my published version for sale on Amazon! It would mean the world to me if you bought it on Amazon kindle for 3.99, the Amazon version is edited and has some bonus parts! Watt pad is where I do all my brainstorming :) so I thought it's only fair to share with my followers a free, unedited version of my book. Ivy has thought of nothing except escaping her shithole town ever since her mom passed away when she was 15. Finally the day comes where she is finally free of her controlling drunk of a father and her monster step mother. She has everything planned out perfectly until she meets the moody Asher Harlen on her 19th birthday. Everything is changing around her and secrets begin to be revealed however she is determined to continue on her path towards her dream life. Is Asher just a little bump in the road? Or will he completely change her world? Will Ivy ever find out what really happened to her mother on that night? Will she ever be at peace with her life? This story is told in both characters perspective! I feel that is the best way to really get to know the characters and understand the story :) feel free to leave any feedback and comments! Thank you! Happy reading 🖤📖Concluída

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Playing The Game
Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made. Either you're not extremely smart, so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed. It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play. * Avery is going to face REAL life problems, and not nice people. She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
