This book will contain lots of triggering topics, the main ones listed below:
S/H, PTSD/Trauma, Suicide, Mental Illness, Overdose
This fic is also going to be based of what I have gone through, and I find writing as a sort of way to process this. There will be no NSFW, as these are both minors. This will also take place in 2022 instead of the 1980's. Enjoy :)!
Will finds himself in a continuous loop of suffering. Dealing with the trauma from the upside down, trauma from his childhood, and being pushed aside by almost everyone, he is deep in depression. He was scared to be who he truly was, keeping his identity hidden. He was so scared of being more rejected than he already was that he kept his identity hidden.
Mike is struggling with his own identity as he starts to wonder if he has feelings for one of his closest friends. He had always assumed that Will was gay, but what if he was just projecting? What if he just wanted Will to be gay because he had feelings for Will. What would people think about him being gay? What would his friends think? What would Will think.
A trip to Fiji with her dismissive boyfriend and his alluring mother lands Valentina into the most unexpected romance of her lifetime.
*****
College student Valentina has been at a standstill in her relationship for three years, so when her boyfriend invites her on vacation to Fiji with his estranged fashion designer mother, Val can't think of anything worse. Mothers-in-law are notoriously one of the most dreadful aspects of a committed relationship, right? But nobody prepared Val for the aloof, refined Diana, who at first seems to absolutely detest her but soon warms under the tropical sun. As a unique and steamy connection sizzles and the two begin sneaking around, Val wonders if she's finally found the love she's been looking for in the most unexpected of places. But can their spark last, and is it worth what it will cost them?
