Lovesick
"I think I'm going to be sick," I mutter, numbingly watching the newlyweds as they seal the deal of being legally bound. My stomach twists in protest. Kehlani Moore is not your typical seventeen-year-old. She hated the idea of love. Maybe not all love-she still believed in the kind her dad had for her and her brother, Brock-but romantic love? That was a different story. Her mother had left their family without a real reason, simply claiming she didn't feel like she was in the right place. That had been the first blow. Her last relationship had been the second. It all added up to the conclusion that love was a game, one she refused to play anymore. She's come to the grand conclusion that she better start collecting her cats like yesterday. On a summer trip to visit her grandmother, Kehlani and her best friend end up crashing a wedding-thanks to a mischievous suggestion from her nan. There, she unexpectedly crosses paths with someone she hasn't seen in two years. A reckless, but undeniably gorgeous decision standing in front of her once again-this time, saving her from being kicked out. But when the same guy moves in next door just a week later, Kehlani finds herself in deeper waters than she ever anticipated.

Abandoned by her father at a young age, she was forced to grow up faster than any child should, navigating the darkest corners of her past with nothing but raw determination and an unshakeable will to survive. Those who see her now - the confident teenage girl with the infectious laugh and fierce loyalty to her friends - would never guess at the shadows she's overcome. She's masterfully rebuilt herself from the broken pieces of her childhood, transforming into someone so strong and seemingly unshakeable that the whispers of her past have faded to barely audible echoes. But fate has a cruel sense of timing. Just as Alexa finds herself falling for Brandon, the charismatic bad boy from old money who seems to set every girl's heart racing , the carefully constructed walls around her secrets begin to crumble. What starts as a whirlwind romance with the kind of boy her mother warned her about quickly spirals into something darker, as long-buried truths claw their way to the surface. Yet even as her past threatens to eclipse her present, Alexa discovers that the revelations about her history are only the beginning. Some secrets, she's about to learn, have teeth - and the ones emerging from the shadows are sharp enough to tear apart everything she's worked so hard to build. In a world where appearances are everything and trust is a currency few can afford, Alexa must decide whether protecting her heart means sacrificing her chance at real love, and if the strength she found in surviving her past is enough to face the storms gathering on her horizon.
