Bittersweet is a young adult novel that explores the quiet heartbreak of loving two people - and losing yourself in the process.
Jacqueline has always kept her guard up, finding safety in solitude and sharp edges. But when two very different boys slip past her defenses - one a gentle soul who sees the good in everyone, the other a beautiful storm who understands the darkness she hides - her world begins to unravel. What begins as a fragile connection spirals into a love triangle where no choice feels right, and every decision comes with a cost.
As relationships fracture and truths come to light, Jacqueline is forced to confront the pain she's buried deep, the people she's hurt, and the pieces of herself she may never get back. Bittersweet is a story of first love and final heartbreak, where the most painful goodbye isn't to a person - it's to the version of yourself you thought you'd always be.
