Trigger warning: This book contains graphic violence, gore, murder, sexual themes, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, dark narrative, self-harm, and psychological trauma.
Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences.

This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them!
Goals:
✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter)
✔️ Dabble in psychological themes
✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre
✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P)
✔️ Finish my first novel
