Chapter 1
Welcome to Early Access!
Bro, I’m Trying to Love You is a work in progress, and you’re getting it hot off the press. Chapters posted as they happen, in roughly the order they’ll appear in the final book. I say roughly because editing is a process, and what you see here may look pretty different by publication day.
This one was voted on by readers at kiralorneromance.com as the next book, so here we are. You asked for it, you get it first.
The best way to enjoy early access is to browse. Scan through, stop where something catches your eye, read what looks fun. Don’t feel like you have to treat it like a finished novel, because it isn’t one yet.
Fair warning: there are grammatical hiccups, pacing bumps, and probably a few moments where the tone goes sideways. That’s the nature of a first draft in the wild. You’re welcome to point those out if that’s your thing, but please don’t feel obligated. This isn’t a proofreading assignment.
What I do love is hearing what you think about the story itself. The characters, the moments that land, the ones that don’t. There’s still room to play, so your feedback actually means something here.
Thanks for being here early. It’s kind of the best seat in the house.
