•Diffident• shyness caused by a lack of self confidence
The story of a pessimistic realist, Olivia Graham and an overly optimistic, idealist, Calum Hood- and how they help each other realize the best parts of themselves.
To everyone else, it's no secret that they both have feelings for each other. Everyone can see it, except for them. Despite the fact that Calum can get any girl and despite the fact that he has no problem telling Olivia how beautiful she truly is, both refuse to imagine a future together. Whether it be because of family issues, trust issues, past relationships, and especially insecurities, both refuse to admit any and all feelings. They let their skinny love follow them like shadows as they pretend all that they are -and all they ever will be- is friends.

Slow beginning but it gets more interesting! :)
19 Year old Sienna Summers has struggled with mental illnesses as long as she can remember. When she moves to Sydney, Australia in hopes of escaping her troubled past a certain raven haired, neighbor boy is determined to get her to open up about her past whether good or bad.
"I've read the poems about love making the voices stop. The tics quieting for just a moment, but if anything they get louder. Those demons find the one thing that you love the most and they will use it against you until they have you graveling on your knees for mercy. The movies and books tell you a love will fix it all, but it won't. That's why they call it fiction."
