[WATTY'S SHORTLIST 2021 & 2022]
"I love every part of you. Not because of who you were before, but because of who you are now, in spite of all the bullshit this universe has sent your way."

Jasmine Ali is broken. 

After watching her best friend die, she walks through life with a strained smile and heavy heart, trying her best to seem like everything is okay. All that matters is getting through her daily routine. But when Jace Wilson appears with a limp and a frown, her mask begins to slip.

And Jasmine begins to learn that nothing is ever truly broken.

When tragedy strikes her family, Jasmine and her mother struggle to move forward. As a last resort, the family decides to move out of town, searching for peace away from the city that holds their worst nightmares. Making up for the year she lost, Jasmine enrolls in a dual program for her first and second years of med school. She however, didn't anticipate learning more than just medicine, and finding much more than what she came looking for. Liam Damien Myers has decided to never rely on anyone since he lost his mother to the big C. Navigating life alone, steering away from other people's business, the last thing he expected was to get caught in the new girl's world. A journey of healing, friendship, and a chance at love. ----------- P.s. since I'm a new writer the first couple chapters might sound a little cringe, but I swear it gets better so soon. It'd be nice if you keep reading till the end and I'd appreciate your support for this new hobby of mine. You're free to call me out on any errors or scenes that you don't like in the comments, be nice though. I really would love to read your comments on the book, so keep commenting, I'll try to always reply. Luv u. Enjoy.
