Paper Cuts // Vol.1

They were acclaimed, they were called the new revolutionaries of the music scene,
but when I saw them on that stage,
while hundreds of people screamed their songs,
I realized it was too late to pretend I didn't admire them.
It was too late to pretend that I wasn't
completely,
incredibly,
and absolutely
lost in his figure,
in the guitar resting in his arms
and pressed against his bare chest,
that the music wasn't too loud
and that to hear his voice I needed complete silence.

Iris seems to have everything under control: quick comebacks, a perfect social life, and the kind of organized chaos that looks flawless from the outside. In reality, though, she carefully avoids anything that might make her truly feel.

When she meets Alexander Hayes, the frontman of Riot Wave, a band that disappeared after a scandal, her life suddenly changes. Between paparazzi, forced encounters, and a connection impossible to ignore, Iris finds herself facing the one thing that scares her most: someone who truly sees her.

Iris must choose between hiding behind perfection... or risking everything to finally learn how to feel.
