RED LIKE LOVE  

A Novel

Published Nov. 19th, 2022

SOMETIMES FALLING IN LOVE FEELS LIKE FALLING APART.

Taunted teenager, Adara Wells, spends her days penning poetry, envying ex-best friend Marina, and drooling over her addictive crush, Xan Saile. Adara is the kind of girl who falls in love after the first kiss, while Xan is the type to not even remember the girl's name afterwards. Of course, in Adara's mind, that makes her and Xan the perfect match!
     Adara quickly realizes that the boy she's chasing after isn't that hard to get; he's just extremely difficult to keep. One person who always manages to hold Xan's attention though, is Marina; but for some reason, she never seems to want it, which irks Adara.
     As Xan's name continues to be a stain across her fragile heart, Adara starts to question her self worth. When Marina tries to rekindle her and Adara's forgotten friendship, it gives Adara something other than her situationship with Xan to focus on. But, as soon as the two girls are alone, her worth isn't the only thing Adara finds herself questioning.

A collection of sapphic poems

Available from June 21st, 2025

This collection is separated into three parts, each representing the different stages of a brief yet intense journey with my muse.

It begins with poems centred around the slow burn from strangers to crushes. I express my
insecurities about not being good enough in the eyes of the girl who is so perfect in mine, as I admit to still struggling with accepting my sexuality.

Part two pinpoints the moment our feelings begin to crumble. My muse is pushing me away and my ego is making me mad. I curse at her and cry for her, all in the same breath.
Finally, part three tells the story of healing. I learn to set her free; and in doing so, I am now

free.
