Heart Detour

Everyone thinks they know who the villain is.

Maybe it's Aaron, who plays hearts like its strategy. Maybe it's Jenna, who starts believing the lies. Maybe it's Melissa, with a tongue sharper than truth. Maybe it's Nathaniel, coming back with a plan to ruin everything.

Or maybe... the real villain is something none of them can escape: their feelings.

Jealousy. Insecurity. Loneliness. Wanting to be loved so badly it hurts. They're all caught in it. And somehow, all of it leads back to one girl:

Isabel

Quiet, steady Isabel - the only one not drowning.
Which makes her the perfect person to blame.

In a world where everyone is spiralling,
how do you survive when stability makes you a threat?

This story was actually deeply inspired by a real-life situation that is going on right now in my life. I won't say the story is literally my life, but a quarter of the storyline - from characters to 5% of the plot line - was actually inspired from a real-life situation.

Just wanted to credit my friend(can't say her name sadly until she gives me permission). This girl literally heard the gist and was like, "This should be a book." So here I am, fulfilling her deepest desires.

But honestly. This girl really helped me. She helped me with the plotline and character names. Even the book title!!

I'm gonna brag rn cus I bet yall don't even have friends talk less of a good friend like her. (Yh, I caught u in 4k)

Lastly, thank you for choosing to read this hell of a book. If it becomes popular enough, I plan on publishing it. And maybe a second book. Hehe.
