First story PUBLISHED, expect more soon. --
-- In an attempt to fit in with the rest of society, Ellis hides behind a wall of fake labels protecting them from what the world has to throw at them next. Whether it be discrimination for their pronouns, or simply because she finds attraction to the same gender, they refuse to let it climb the wall. She passes as a cis female, straight with reluctant book smarts hoping no one will notice. One day, though, she comes across an openly Bisexual female, named Vivian. Ellis almost immediately finds attraction, but will her fake labels get in between her dream love-life?
In this Teen Fiction, it opens up about being under the LGBTQ umbrella term and how it can come with many challenges, although the victim cannot determine who they do and dont love. This Novella lets teens know its ok to reach out and self-express, no matter who or what faces you ahead.
Please note: chapter 2 and the following of the story include strong depictions of violence, self-harm, suicide, substance abuse, language, and more. If you are alarmed by any of the following, please do NOT read.
This is my WIP novel that is currently undergoing some of its final editing stages. Any and all comments, fixes, thoughts, and constructive criticism is welcome!
Four roommates all begin to find love at the same time.
Isabel, new to the group and the real world, moves in to meet Candace, a very forward lesbain who immediately takes a liking to her. Isabel, who has never considered queerness before is nervous and off put, but intrigued by Candace anyway.
Arianna builds walls around her that are typically very tough to break through. She uses her asexuality as a shield to protect her - if she believes no one will want her because of her sexuality she can ignore that someone may not want her for her heart. Two men, Emmett and Finn, start breaking through these walls though, and she has to figure out who she's going to pick before things get messy.
Raylieghn is free-spirited and very sure of herself. She does what she wants, when she wants. But she's constantly running into trouble with the girl-next-door, Brooke, who she has undeniable chemistry and tension with.
Zari tends to feel out of place and a little left out - while they love their friends and share their queerness, no one around them understands their experience with gender identity. When they meet Max at their new job, they have an immediate connection with him that changes all of that entirely.
This is a multiple POV book with four main characters.
*Each of the main four characters (Isabel, Arianna, Raylieghn, and Zari) will have their own novels - this is intended to be a five-book series*
