Elise Harper is a gifted artist and an extraordinary chameleon, sliding through life with remarkable ease. From her high-powered corporate job to her bohemian art circles, she fluidly adopts the interests, fashions, and mannerisms of the people around her. To many, she appears to have it all together; she is charming, versatile, and endlessly adaptable. Yet, beneath her vibrant, ever-shifting exterior, Elise grapples with her true identity, feeling like a collage of everyone she's ever met rather than her authentic self.

One evening, in a coffee shop while waiting for the rain to stop, Elise meets Jay Foster, a passionate environmental activist who is unafraid to express his beliefs and stand against societal norms. He's different from anyone she's known - grounded, sincere, and strong in his convictions. Intrigued by his authenticity, Elise feels an inexplicable connection that pulls her closer.

As their relationship blossoms, Elise is drawn to the freedom Jay embodies. He encourages her to express her true self, to unveil the layers of artistry trapped beneath her chameleon-like exterior. This newfound confidence begins to unlock her creativity, inspiring Elise to take risks in her artwork that reflect her genuine emotions, rather than the expectations of others.

The story culminates in a powerful message about the importance of authenticity, love, and vulnerability. Together, Elise and Jay realized that they can face the complexities of life as a team, navigating through each challenge by embracing their unique colors as individuals while learning to blend harmoniously. They walk hand in hand into an uncertain future, ready to explore the unknown-with a shared commitment to celebrate their identities unapologetically.

In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other. On the inside, a girl with hate in her heart, regret in her veins, and self-loathing in her every system. Following a tragic turn of events, she begins to spiral. A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan. His every happiness stems from medical books, sunsets, and seeing his loved ones smile. He has never been in love, never so much as thought about a girl beyond what left her lips, not until he met her. Please read the foreword for trigger warnings and disclaimers.
