Author's Note: Before You Begin Reading

Welcome toAll the Secrets We Meet!

For my returning readers:

I took an old draft I wrote in 2021and started revising it. The first story was already up here and you might have read it. Some of you were kind enough to give me honest feedback showing me the big fat blunder in the first few chapters.

So now I have fixed that. The draft isn’t perfect but it’s better. No more changes. This is canon. All the old versions are still available on my substack (Link in Bio).

For my new readers:Welcome to the chaos!This is a story about survival, toxic love, and the masks we wear. A little bit of drama, a little bit of romance and lots of dark themes.

What you need to know:

Genre: YA Dark Contemporary

Update Schedule:New chapters every[Friday]

Content Warning:This story explores emotional toxic (mostly family) dynamics. Please prioritize your mental health.

How to Read / Story Structure

Because this project began as a collection of interconnected stories, the chapters are organized into Volumes.

While each Volume focuses on a specific arc, they build upon each other. I strongly recommend reading them in published order. The character growth and overarching mystery connect across the volumes, and skipping around will spoil the bigger picture.

Want to read ahead?I publish early access chapters (2 weeks earlier at least)and exclusive draft annotations (with “Director’s Cut” commentary) on my Substack.Join the Secrets Fam at substack (Link in bio)

Thank you for trusting me with your time. Let’s uncover the secrets together.
