Surburbia afterglow

In a sleepy suburbia where everyone is just trying to survive their own gravity, twenty-four-year-old Artemis lives behind a fortress of her own making. She's a soul-deep singer who turns the silence of the city into her own private melody, but she keeps her heart locked tight behind fierce, defensive walls, a self-proclaimed lone wolf who doesn't do labels or vulnerability.
Then comes Wylie.
Wylie is a brilliant, music-obsessed over exposed Polaroid come to life.A little chaotic, and obsessed with catching the moments everyone else blinks and misses.. When their orbits collide at an overgrown, abandoned train track, the connection is instant and magnetic.
Suddenly, that boring, gray suburbia gets splashed with high-vibrancy neon lights, the green of the overgrown train tracks, and the warm, golden pinks of the afterglow. The gray town becomes their canvas, and their romance is the bright paint that completely changes it. Together, they build a sacred sanctuary away from parental pressures and real-world expectations, falling into an intense, all-consuming love.
But when a love burns that bright, the sudden heat is terrifying. As the relationship reaches a fever pitch, Artemis's deepest defense mechanisms kick in, causing her to bolt and triggering a heartbreaking, devastating drop.
Set against a backdrop of concrete velvet, late-night neon, and heavy truths, Suburbia Afterglow is a poetic coming-of-age romance play-novel. It's an intimate exploration of what happens when two creative souls collide, explode, and are forced to navigate the beautiful, bittersweet silence left behind when the music stops.
Can you ever truly return to normal once you've lived in the afterglow of someone else?
