Real people make mistakes they can never fix, fall in love, fall out of it, question it, question themselves, repeat; they don't have perfect endings.
Real people are a hot mess.

I'm Not Crazy
We are not the broken clichés you want us to be anymore. We have transcended beyond the "Good Girl ~ Bad Boy" boxes they tried to put us in. We are so far beyond all that now, that we are finally free of all those stereotypes. The story of us is not the usual cliche "good girl" meets "bad boy" that instantly fall in love. Oh, and after a few almost funny mishaps everything works out perfectly story. Or the other one where the brooding bad boy with a tragic past gets a second chance to become a happy, well-adjusted person again. All thanks to the love of an awesomely perfect popularity princess with a pure heart of gold. Who sees "something special" inside him, that no one else can see ...and sets him on a straight path. All that once in a lifetime fairy dust love, that only exists for perfect pretty popularity princesses in the happily ever after. No, this is the other kind of love story ...the messy kind, that messes peoples lives up irrevocably, for all time. The real kind of love story, that comes hand in hand with hopes and fears, and all that real hurt that burns at your heart. So while our Crazy love might not be as bright and shiny as that fairy dust love is ...our love will kick your loves ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because our love knows the secret truth about itself. That it's not about how perfectly you fall in love, it's how you get the back up after love kicks your ass sideways, and you come back looking for more. Because our love is that Crazy kind of love, that is so forever you have to fight for it 'till the bitter end ...or die trying. The kind of love that comes with beer, pizza, football and a hell of a lot of laughs ...but mostly at everyone else's expense. ~First Place Chicklit - 2017 Blue Rose Award~ ~ Second Place for Teen Fiction - The Star Blazer Awards 2018~ ~ Honorable Mention for Best Plot - 2017 Royalty Awards ~Complete

Her career was thriving, and her relationship with Laurel Evans was the epitome of devotion, cherished by all who knew them. But fate, in its infinite unpredictability, shattered this idyllic world in an instant. Laurel was gone, leaving Genevieve with a void that seemed impossible to fill and a promise to keep - a promise that would become the guiding force in her journey toward healing and rediscovery. On the other side of the spectrum was Noemie Everly, a 26-year-old transwoman who had fought tirelessly to carve out her place in the world. As a streamer, she had risen to fame on a popular gaming platform, becoming one of the top streamers in Switzerland. Yet, despite her professional success, Noemie's personal life told a different story. She had been through a string of toxic relationships, each leaving her more disillusioned and guarded. Love, to her, seemed like an unattainable dream, a fleeting illusion that vanished the moment she dared to believe in it. When Genevieve and Noemie's paths crossed in a quaint coffee shop, their lives were at crossroads. Genevieve was navigating the treacherous waters of grief and newfound solitude, while Noemie was on the cusp of a new career opportunity that promised success but threatened to isolate her further. Amidst the chaos of their lives, they found solace in each other's company, their connection sparking like a beacon of hope. As they sipped their coffee and shared their stories, Genevieve and Noemie began to peel away the layers of pain and disappointment that had defined their lives. They discovered that love wasn't just a promise kept or a fairy tale; it was a choice - a choice to be vulnerable, to trust, and to believe in the possibility of happiness after tragedy. In each each other maybe there could be love

I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards 🥇 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards 🥈 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards 🥈Complete
