Underneath the Surface is a raw, introspective journey following Quinn, a young black woman balancing on the edge between euphoria and emptiness, self-discovery and self-destruction. With her blunt humor, self-reflection, and a bit of rebellion, she navigates the messiness of friendships, addiction, and mental health struggles in a world that feels determined to swallow her whole. Searching for meaning and self-acceptance, Quinn isn't just fighting her own darkness-she's challenging the very idea of who she's supposed to be.

Through tangled relationships, addiction, and anger that flares in ways she can't control, Quinn's journey is a testament to the dark humor of survival as she digs into the hard truths buried underneath the surface.All Rights Reserved

It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination.
