Shayla Jean-Baptiste has always been too much. Too loud when she laughs, too bold when she enters a room, too opinionated when she opens her mouth. And now? She's too tired to keep pretending she's got it all together.

Between finishing her master's degree, blogging her secrets under a name nobody knows, dodging situationships, juggling complicated friendships, and showing up as the "therapist" in a Haitian family that doesn't believe in therapy-Shayla is over it. Over her mom asking why she's still single. Over her dad minding everyone's business but his own. Over her sister's drama, her brother's silence, and a church that wants her nodding even though she stopped believing a long time ago.

Rent is high. Jobs are draining. Cancel culture stays lurking. And love? Don't even ask.

Overit is a sharp, funny, and brutally honest coming-of-age story about surviving your twenties as a Black Haitian woman in a world that wants you to smile pretty while carrying everybody else's secrets.

"How-" I cut him off with a shake of my head, "I should have never let you convince me to go out," I breathed out, feeling my eyes prick with unshed tears. I felt anger slowly bubble through me making me stare up at him, "This is all your fault."

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door.

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...

Heavy is the Middle

32 parts Complete Mature

Being the middle daughter in a Haitian family is a full-time job-and Nadine Pierre is done clocking in. Her parents built an import-export empire and a legend to match. Big sister Roseline is the crown jewel-married, pregnant, polished at the company. Baby sister Jessica shines at school with perfect plans. Nadine? She's the curvy one, the single one, the "too much" one-writing a Black culture column that her mama calls a hobby and her editor calls "rebrandable." When her column gets cut and her mama parades an ex like a solution, Nadine snaps. Writing is the only place she feels alive-she won't trade it for a smile and a husband. Then comes Tariq, the Ledger's golden boy, assigned as her "balance" on a new dating series about hit reality show Heatwave. He's infuriating, incisive, and the only man who gets under her skin without even touching her. Heavy Is the Middle is messy, sexy, and unapologetic-about body shame, Haitian family politics, and wanting more than survival. For every Black girl told she was too loud, too big, too single, or too much-and burned brighter anyway.
