Bea, Unfortunately

Jess has spent most of her life learning how to become the girl everyone else wants her to be.

The perfect daughter. The perfect student. The perfect sorority girl.

When her father pressures her into joining Kappa Delta Phi, the most prestigious sorority on campus, Jess finds herself trapped in a world of pink glitter, expensive parties, and people she has spent years trying to avoid.

But behind the perfect grades, pretty clothes, and carefully curated image is a girl barely holding herself together.

Alcohol has always been Jess's favorite escape. A drink quiets the thoughts she can't stand to hear, even if only for a little while.

Then, on Bid Day, she comes face-to-face with Beatrice-the girl who tormented her throughout middle and high school.

Jess wants nothing to do with her.

Until one drunken night changes everything.

As old wounds resurface and an unexpected attraction begins to blur the line between hatred and desire, Jess is forced to confront everything she's spent years trying to bury: her father's expectations, her mother's absence, the trauma of her childhood, and the parts of herself she's never been brave enough to name.

But what begins as a way to cope slowly becomes something much harder to control.

And the more Jess tries to escape herself, the further she falls.

Because figuring out who you are is hard enough.

Figuring out who you are when you're willing to lose yourself just to feel okay?

That's where things get messy.
