Young Love(ON INKITT)

[Prequel to Residuals]
In the bustling heart of Detroit, Isabella finds herself navigating the uncharted waters of high school life, burdened by the weight of her family's financial struggles. Every day begins with the challenge of taking two buses to reach a school that promises a better future-a small price to pay for her parents' dreams. As she steps through the school's doors, she's drawn into an unexpected friendship with a group of misfits, each wrestling with their own demons.

Together, they form a sanctuary, a refuge from their chaotic lives. They laugh, they cry, and they share secrets, yet, beneath the surface, a web of hidden truths threatens to unravel their seemingly perfect world. As Isabella navigates friendships marked by love, betrayal, and unacknowledged pain, she realizes how much she's needed by her small group of friends.
