Falling For the Fake Boy

Psychosis - a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.

Jaina Falvey is not your average teenager. She's long disciplined herself to keep her mind fixed on the task at hand and succeeds extremely well at it, juggling school, an overpaying job, and extracurricular activities all with excellent performance.

Something else has happened to Jaina however that few people know about, and that is the tragic death of her twin sister that she witnessed, the mysterious death of her father when she was four, and her diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder after remembering strange traumatic events from her early childhood.

With all this on her plate, Jaina has little time to worry about the normal teen drama, guys, and serious relationships except for the one good boyfriend she has. However, when her strange coworker begins playing with her, flirting with her, and touching her, she can't help but be concerned.

But feelings change from concerned to pure panicked when he kidnaps her and murders her boyfriend before her very eyes one late night...or so she thought? The next thing she knows, Jaina is waking up in the school parking lot and her boyfriend is alive. Now, she can't seem to stop jumping from scenario to scenario and can't tell which is dream and which is reality, something her psychiatrist diagnoses her with as psychosis.

And as life goes on, life gets stranger, as Jaina finds herself going from living the life of a teenage girl working a part time job in high school, to being kidnapped, to being sent to a mental hospital, to being forced into servitude. Is this all really just psychosis? And if so...

Which is the dream and which is reality?

Because her feelings are out of control and she begins to find herself falling in love with a rich criminal, kidnapper, and murderer. But is even he for real? Or is it all just a dream?
