Sweet Innocence

Famous singer Tallulah Whyte has always had three goals in life: do what she loves, live a life with the person she loves, and be happy. By age eighteen, she has already achieved two of these goals, but then, fate introduces her to Carston Lynch, a rising actor, on a movie set. A crush blossoms, and they become the best of friends. As she reaches the age of twenty-one, Tallulah finds herself in a bittersweet situation. She’s still pursuing her passion for music and has found the person she loves and wants to spend the rest of her life with, but there’s a void in her heart—a feeling of discontentment—since the person she loves is nothing more than a friend, and every day, her feelings for him grow stronger and more intense. He’s all she can think about, and this unrequited love is slowly eroding her spirit, turning her into a mere shadow of her former self. Carston, oblivious to the role he plays in Tallulah’s unhappiness, is there for her every step of the way. He dries her tears every night, not realizing that his comforting actions are causing more harm than good. All he wants is for Tallulah to return to being the vibrant, joyful person he first met, unaware that he’s the reason for her gloom. The constant struggle of not sharing her feelings is a silent battle that’s slowly devouring her—she’s trapped in her own silence, unable to express her true feelings. She’s terrified of losing her best friend, the one person who brings light to her life: the thought of confessing her feelings and risking their friendship is unbearable. She just can’t bear the thought of a life without him. —- ISBN: 9798884070424
