Summary

'To be loved and love in the highest count.' Platonic love is one thing, but when that option is ripped away, what does one do? Faced with the choice of romantic love or nothing at all. Jordanne Sheer and Ryleigh Stevens are set against each other. Ryleigh must face her past trauma while navigating the transition from late teen years to early adulthood. She wants to focus on herself but gets lost in the whirlwind of unavoidable love and all its roadblocks- roadblocks that aren't cohesive with her new self-centered motto. Plagued with the burden of responsibilities left by his father, Jordanne Sheer tries to navigate his time sensitive and detrimental decisions. Obstacles of love, betrayal, trauma, family ties and friendship are against him. Will they fall into each other, serving as the other's guide? Or will they become callous and avoid what once was?

INTRODUCTION

BELLE TEAM WE MADE IT!

I've wanted to jump the WP ship since '23 and here we are 😂. Thank God! No shade to WP, I love it, but I'm trying to streamline my readers and it's way too... riotous? on there most days. Hopefully we like it here and won't have to crawl back🥲. (Me already nuh like how me cyaa center the POVs 😑)

Anywho, read and enjoy like a the first! I want it to do well on this platform for reasons I prefer not sharing; not yet at least. I'll try to add pictures too, so you guys may enjoy the manuscript with a little bit of visuals.
