We all have are scars. Some that overpower our judgement, cloud our minds with lies. Yet we all walk around day-by-day masking our hurt, our struggles because who wants to handle someone else's mess. 

Callie has struggled since she was a kid dealing with the loss of her dad and the ongoing bullying throughout K-12. One thing has stayed constant, Jc has never left her side. Her rock and best friend through it all. 

Kian has his own issues created from a broken childhood, forced to grow up too fast. With little respect for others besides his friend Jc, he's lost with what lies next in his life. 

How do you allow others in when all you know is loneliness and pain? How do you win the game when the cards you've been dealt exist solely to set you up for failure? 

When it all seems to be going right, we are reminded that illusions are a magicians greatest trick.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
