Fifteen -year-old Callum Reid has been labelled a problem kid for years - aggressive, foul-mouthed, police trouble on legs. He doesn't trust anyone, doesn't want saving, and definitely doesn't give a shit about the new care home he's dumped in.
Then there's Cressida Hale also fifteen
She's all bone and silence, with dyed purple hair and eyes that look like they've already given up. She doesn't talk much, doesn't eat much, and doesn't seem to care if she disappears completely.
They're not friends. They're barely anything. But in a house full of noise and chaos, something between them begins to stick - a quiet, angry, fragile thing that neither of them can name. Callum swears like it's armor. Cressida starves like it's control. They're both haunted by things they never chose.
Rotten Fucking Roots is a brutal, unapologetic story about the damage we carry, the people who see past it, and what happens when two broken kids stop trying to be fixed - and just try to be heard.

Bow-Legged
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.
