Stepping out of the box

PART 2 IS ON HER WAY... If wanted?

Liliana has everything she's supposed to want-good grades, a driven family, and a future already planned for her. Yet somehow, she still feels invisible. Always present, never chosen. Always expected to follow, never asked what she wants.

When she's pushed into joining her school's yearbook committee, Liliana expects boredom, pressure, and another step toward a life she didn't choose. What she doesn't expect is Leo-a quiet, sarcastic photographer who sees through polished answers and college-ready perfection.

As deadlines loom and expectations tighten, Liliana begins to question the box she's been living in. Between strained family dinners, unspoken dreams, and stories she's never let anyone read, she faces a choice: keep living for approval-or finally step out and direct her own story.

Stepping Out of the Box is a coming-of-age novel about identity, quiet rebellion, and the courage it takes to be seen-even when the world already thinks it knows who you are.
