{Sequel to Project Smile}

Gabriel Lancaster has had his fair share of ups and downs, especially throughout the last four years of his life. He's improved since his junior year of high school, but he still feels as if he's stuck in between the dark depths of his depression and approaching recovery.

Cassidy Evans completed Project Smile four years ago, but she knows she still has work to do. Though she knows that her boyfriend is doing a lot better, she can't help but worry for him, which takes a toll on both her schoolwork and her mental health. 

As they walk together through the peaks and valleys of life, they know that they must persevere and never leave the other behind. But as tension keeps building and time continues changing both of them, will they be able to make it through? Or will this finally be what tears them apart?

{Trigger Warning: This book deals with heavy topics, such as depression and anxiety, as well as mentions of a suicide. If any of these topics may make you uncomfortable or distressed, please do not read or be very cautious.}

Introverts, I call out to you: This book is about Athena, the nerdiest of introverts. However, like everyone she was hit by the curse of falling in love. Unable to manage her feelings, she can't hold it anymore. What to do? She fell in love with her best friend, James but...her rival is only perfection itself. How to beat a perfect extrovert magnificent person? Not a single flaw compared to us, introverts. Bree is perfect. Who in the world would choose a flawed but unique introvert rather than a goddess, a princess who is just perfection? This is the first book of an amazing sequel. It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?
