Let me make this description simple:
A transgender girl (in the closet to most) gets kicked out of / runs away from her home. She meets a group of girls on the street including a very smart and mature lesbian, a flirty yet secretive bisexual, a shy pansexual, and a sassy asexual. Together these girls use money, resources, and whatever else they can find to end up creating a homeless shelter for LGBTQ youth who are kicked out of their homes.
Idea from @thequeerpoc on tumblr.
Find out in this book how they earn money, what struggles they must overcome, and show you that homophobia is still a really big deal with some real life occurrences... And maybe some unreal occurrences... This book gets kind of weird and hectic...
This book is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the shooting, in Pulse, in Orlando, Florida. ❤️ We're not afraid.
This book also contains:
•Destroying gender roles.
•Fighting for Equity, Equality, and Justice.
•Relationships between characters.
•No deaths but mild/intense violence.
•Swearing.
•Intimacy
•Defeating Stereotypes.
•Love/Hate
The girls are:
Transgender: Alexandria (used to be Alexander) {16}
Lesbian: Brittany (Britt) {18}
Bisexual: Shannon (kind of based off of me, the author!) {19}
Pansexual: Gail (Shannon's best friend and gets constantly hit on by her ;) {17}
Asexual: Riley (Nickname is Riles) {15}
Ally: Nisha (Alexandria's best friend, in the closet) {16}
Other characters will be introduced later on. If this gets big, I will make a male sequel. Also, correct me if I get anything wrong, if I say something that offends the LGBT+ community by accident, I do not know a whole lot about it. I update this book when the last chapter has over 10 reads. This book is set in Ireland. #JustWriteIt

Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
*****
Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
