Love in the Little Pond

After being publicly shamed for his major writing project, Kolin moved back to the countryside for an extended break with his newly annulled mother and his often irritated grandmother. While dealing with academic burnout and the readmission process, the shame of feeling behind his peers, and the constant struggling to find his footing back in life, he reconnects with Ryle, a newly licensed engineer that has been both his childhood friend and the cause of his biggest heartbreak.
