This isn't a love story. Not really.
It's a story about secrets - the kind that rot from the inside out. About teenagers growing up too fast, in a world that's way too good at pretending. At the center of it all is Chloe, or "Bubbles" as she's sometimes called - sharp-tongued, observant, and far more entangled in the lives around her than she ever intended to be.
Told through multiple points of view, this novel unfolds in fragments - messy, raw, and real. From betrayal to blackmail, buried trauma to teenage obsession, each chapter pulls you deeper into a web that's been years in the making.
There are relationships. There's heartbreak. But don't get it twisted - this isn't about falling in love. It's about falling apart.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
