[In progress] A lower-YA novel, inspired by the Dolly Parton song Wildlfowers, about the joy of finding your best friend, the heartbreak of saying goodbye, and all the wild adventures in between. 

When 13-year old good girl Violet Wilson moves to a posh new housing development in a small Texas town, she finds an unlikely friend in wild child Poppy Cooper. They're instant besties, but there's just one problem:  Violet's mom forbids the friendship. Poppy's troubled family life and reckless behavior stands in the way.

After a dramatic turn of events reveals cracks in Violet's family's carefully-curated facade, the girls realize friendship isn't they only thing they have in common. As Violet's world threatens to crumble, and her family makes plans to move away, the two best friends vow to squeeze their teenage years into a few short weeks before Violet must say goodbye. It's all fun and games recreating things like first dates, driving and prom until Poppy falls for Violet's older brother Teddy. It's a betrayal Violet won't soon forget.

Blood is thicker than water, but what about friendship? Can these wildflowers weather the storm?

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
