Selfish Appetite [5 Seconds of Summer]

Selfish Appetite is a raw exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human connection. At its heart, it's a story about grief, abuse, addiction, and the healing power of friendship. It's about the chosen family your friends can become, if you let them. It's a tribute to the irreplaceable love and wisdom of grandparents, and ultimately, a book about how love shapes us-mind, body, and soul.

It delves into the realities of substance abuse, domestic violence, and the tangled web of love triangles. I wanted to create a book so realistic it frustrates readers, where there's no escape from the truths of life. The kind of story that keeps readers on edge, breathless with worry and anticipation for the characters they've grown to love.

Love can be a wicked, transformative force-a truth Sloan and Luke come to know all too well in Selfish Appetite. Love can make us act in strange, unexplainable ways. It defies convention, refuses to be defined, and no bond is ever the same as another.

"Sometimes I wish you never kissed me."
"Why?"
"Because now I can't forget what your lips taste like."
