Description
Olivia is Anna Wintourβs worst nightmare, and she doesnβt give a shit. Sheβs wanted to go into fashion design her whole life, and nothing is going to stop her fabulous plus sized self. Not even her boss from hell, or the fact that sheβs the fat Cinderella of the most exclusive lingerie store in Bushwick, Ohio. Sheβs sworn off dating, because she is focused, dammit, and will not get distracted by anyone in college. She has shit to do and places to go, be it on her own with the clothing she makes, or with the girls in Twelve Beats In A Bar, the all-female a cappella group sheβs part of.
Why do group projects always have to ruin everything?
Thierry Acosta has it all. Shortstop on Bushwick Universityβs baseball team, amazing grades in college, everything he could want. When he gets paired with Olivia for a group project, things are only getting better. And then his dad loses his job, and Thierryβs life falls apart. He canβt manage to get himself to practice, to classβ¦ anywhere. Heβs got the scars on his wrists to prove that this has happened before, but he thought he was better. He thought he could deal with something like this. The cuts on his thighs say otherwise.
Before they know it, Olivia and Thierry’s relationship has gone from casual project partners to not-so-casual more-than-friends. But when things take a turn for the worse, can they face the growing reality of a relationship that’s become much more serious than either of them expected- or wanted?
