How would God respond to making a mistake? Would planets collide or mountains slide into the sea? Or would the ledger of all life simply remain out kilter until a series of small events forced that ledger back into balance again? It's probably the latter. After all, you don't want to call attention to your mistakes if you're an all-powerful being. Across 12 interconnected stories, Just Follow the Cat unravels the events that shape the life of Starling Prindle and the original mistake that started him on his search for the center of the universe. The stories are simultaneously whimsical and nihilistic. They are also poetic in an unconventional way. There are cats and shadows of cats in every story. The 12 stories are told to a woman who can't see, can't hear, and can't react. From beginning to end, her thoughts about what she hears remain a mystery. Or maybe it's more than that. Maybe it's more shrouded. More unknowable. Maybe her thoughts are a riddle surrounded by a mystery that's inside an enigma with the whole mess wrapped in bacon. Maybe. Just maybe she is like a cat who has entered her 10th life and is now content to simply listen. When I write, I try to use simple language and speak directly to the reader. My goal is to have the reader feel as if the story is being told only to them. And my hope is that reading these stories will create a casual and comfortable bond between the reader and the narrator - kind of like sitting across a table from each other, sipping morning coffee, and listening.

16 parts Ongoing Mature
When you're deeply in love with someone you can sometimes forget your boundaries, when the line is being crossed. When someone loves you deeply you can forget where theirs are. You make things you would normally never do. Make them do things so bad for them. You can both forget what real love should look like. Sometimes you can not see when it's going to far. Love can be blinding. Love can be dangerous. Love should be revealing. Love should be a safe place. Love should be beautiful. ~~~ They are beautiful. They are brilliant. They are perfect for each other... according to everyone. Valentina Hoefkens and Thomas Van Arsdale are the ultimate It-couple: irresistible, admired, and envied by their entire high school. The kind of love story people dream of. But behind the dazzling smiles and stolen glances, shadows lurk. Betrayal, secrets, and scars from the past. Valentina, shattered by an abusive father, and Thomas, haunted by a tragedy he cannot forget, are caught in a dangerous dance where seduction and destruction collide. This is not a fairy tale. It's an obsession. A war. A game where every victory leaves deeper wounds. They love. They destroy. And they don't know how to stop. ~~~ If you are addicted to someone like they're a drug then go to rehab before they kill you. Or, appreciate it as much as you can before they take you from you. Depends of you... Your lover should be someone you believe in. Your lover should be your light in a room. Love can be so stressful. Love should be release. ~~~ Careful, this book is not for everyone. It talks about a shitty toxic relationship (from both sides), there will be violence, manipulation and more... You have to remember this while reading, I do not want you to think this kind of "love" is normal. I recommend to only mature enough people to read this.

"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you. Credit to @slueths for the incredible cover!!
