Game Day

Pairing: Zach MacLaren x Zoey Miller

Summary: Zach & Zoey play soccer!

They were halfway through their game day and Zoey had beaten Zach in almost everything. She had several chess wins under her belt and one win in paper football, which prior to today she didn’t know was even a thing. Her mind was still reeling from the wins when Zach suggested they juggle a soccer ball.

Zoey wasn’t sure what he meant by juggle. The only juggling she knew was by hand, preferably with something soft that wouldn’t hit her in the head. Again. But when Zach pulled a soccer ball down from the top shelf of a closet, she knew she was in for something entirely different.

“Oh... you meant juggle a ball?” Her voice was as shaky and dubious as she felt. “We shouldn’t… We could break something.”

“I’m seriously offended by how little you trust our soccer skills,” Zach said. “Just control the ball. It’ll be fine.”

The ball in question was old and dusty. And probably more flat than it should’ve been. Zach blew the dust away and dropped the ball to the floor before picking it up with his feet. The ball balanced on his toes as he passed it from one foot to another before kicking it to Zoey, who against her better wishes, flinched.

“I wasn’t ready!” she shouted.

“If you stay ready you won’t have to get ready.” Zach chased the ball and handed it to her. “Here. You start,” he said.

Zoey took a deep breath. She knew how soccer worked. She watched a few games with her dad the days before he and her mom split, but had never actually played before. The cocky part of her—the part that believed everything could be solved with numbers and algorithms—believed she would do well, if she ever got a chance. If she could deconstruct the architectural design of a building with geometry, surely she could kick a ball with her feet. How hard could it possibly be?

She held the ball above her foot and let it drop to the ground, then she picked it up with her other foot like Zach did, hopping around on one leg until she built up enough courage to pass it to her other foot.

A smile stretched across her face as she caught the ball.

“Oh my god,” she said. “I did it!”

“Right, now pass it to me.” Zach stepped back, awaiting the ball.

Zoey nodded and launched it his way. Only she must’ve done something wrong because it curled to the side, flying past him and into a vase. She watched as Zach’s jaw dropped comically slow, and a wave of guilt shot through her as his blue eyes trailed the ceramic pieces now scattered on the wooden floor.

“I am so sorry!" She rushed to collect the pieces.

How much would the vase cost to replace? Tens? Hundreds? She wasn’t sure. But mostly she worried about Zach, who would now know for sure that she wasn’t a real soccer player. A real player would control the ball. Pass it with ease and accuracy.

“Don’t worry about it,” Zach said, crouching down next to her. His amber scent engulfed her as his eyes met hers and any worry she had diminished. “Careful. You might cut yourself.”

She wished his warning came sooner when a speck of red emerged from a slit on her finger. A burning feeling accompanied the wound and she stuck the finger in her mouth to reduce it.

“I’ll get a bandaid,” Zach said.

Moments later he returned with a blue bandage to wrap her finger in. His eyes shifted away from her as he swept the remainder of the ceramic bits in a dust pan and she plopped down on the couch to watch.

“Sorry about that. I’m a little off my game today.”

“You don’t have to be sorry,” Zach said. “It was my idea to play inside.” He joined her on the couch, laying his head down on her lap as if nothing had ever happened. “At least now we know who the better soccer player is.”

Zoey bopped him on his head, feeling unusably defensive of the soccer playing Zoey that wasn’t her. Would that Zoey have beaten him?

They sat in comfortable silence as she ran a hand through his short hair.

“Wanna play battletoads?” Zach asked.

“Sure,” she said. And somehow she felt jealous of Zoey Wallace. The Zoey she never knew and could never be. Because if this was her life, then she was pretty damn lucky. “Let’s go play battletoads.”

Boogeyman

(no warnings)

A father sat down with his son. It was past 9, well past the time the son had to go to bed. The father slid his sons blanket up.

"It's time to go to sleep, (x). You know what happens when you don't?"

"Dad-"

"The boogeyman comes and takes us."

"...Dad I'm old enough to know that's not real."

The father gave a smile and kissed his sons head before leaving the room, keeping the door cracked a bit. The son sighed a bit and curled into his pillow.

Two hours passed before odd sounds woke the son up. He sat up in a daze before recognizing- His mother was screaming. He sat up and almost left his room before he saw a tall figure in his doorway.

It was well over 6 feet, grinning, with manic eyes; The body of the mother hauled over its shoulder. It paused a bit in the doorway and looked in, smiling still.

He gripped his blanket as he saw this...thing...with his limp mothers body slung over its shoulder, and all it did was stare before its grin widened. It held up a finger to its teeth in a mocking "Shhh" gesture with a truly evil look before walking off, the mother behind it.

The boogeyman was real.

Mini-Drew-Analysis for His Birthday!!

Since yesterday was my lovely Drewy-bear's birthday, I decided to write a bullshit little blurb talking about how I interpret his character, and how much (I think) people misinterpret his aggression during the drakeup.

I won't include anything about the music club, since it has been a while since I rewatched the series as a whole and memories of them interacting with Drew are kinda rusty and that deserves its own essay.

Like the Milly/Ep.3 post, I *might* briefly mention a lot of my own trauma or experiences and compare them to Drew's behaviours, so apologies in advance if that bothers you.

Now, firstly, I would like to establish his major relationships in the show since most of his characterization comes from said relationships.

ZOEY:

Droey is arguably Drew's second-most-important relationship, despite the lack of screentime (which I am really salty about).

Now, whilst I love the aroace and gay Drew headacanons, I think we can all agree that he did love Zoey to some extent. The photo in Zoey's room and the fact that he is willing to fulfil her ever wish are proof enough in my eyes.

Drew's love-language is gift-giving (same, Drew, same). It was been confirmed that his parents get him everything they want since HIS FIRST APPEARANCE.

"Well, they bought it for me last night!"

I'm mostly theorising here, but going off of this alone: Drew's parents have been (and still are) very absent in his life.

They couldn't give him enough attention nor affection when he was a kid so they just opted to shove lavish gifts and money in his face to show him their [persumed] love for him.

So, Drew grew up with the virtue that love is mainly expressed through money and expensive gifts ingrained into his head since he was a young child.

He only buys gifts for people he deeply loves and cares about, it's not just a way of flexing or getting people to like him (more on that in the Jake part).

Drew loved Zoey, from the bottom of his heart, so he bought her everything she asked for and took her on dates to the mall regularly to show her how deep his affection for her is.

That's why he was so concerned and "suspicious" when she stopped asking for so many gifts.

He wasn't worried that she was "cheating", he was worried that she didn't loved him anymore, that she was going to leave him.

Moreover, Drew is a very distrustful person by nature, and those he trusts, he trusts deeply.

Those are the only people he allows himself to be emotional around or express his interests and hobbies to, but even then he still has an invisible wall surrounding him.

He lets them be close enough to understand him on a surface level, but not close enough to see his true colours and vulnerabilities (same, Drew, same ×2. Also, Milly parallel!!).

Zoey was naturally one of those few people he trusted, and she broke that trust.

That's why he was so hurt after Zoey left him. He trusted her, he was willing to go to the ends of the earth for her, he loved her.

But she cheated on him. She took advantage of him. She broke his trust.

And even without all of the above, anybody would get scarred and hurt by their partner cheating on them, manipulating them, and using them for money (trust me, I am speaking from personal experience here).

Well, Zoey betrayed him...at least his other friends are still-

HENRIAM:

WRONG. THEY HURT HIM TOO.

Let me elaborate.

We don't get enough screentime to see Drenriam interact so I can't write about them separately (FUXK YOU JAKE AND THE NUSIC FREKA DFOR HOGFINF ALL THE SCREENTOME).

But, we know Drew cares about them. And they know it too.

"Come on, you know you love us" (Henry, Ep5)

And Drew doesn't respond. He just blushes, rolls his eyes and stays silent, which I think is confirmation enough.

"buT hE iS mEAn tO tHeM!1!1" I hear a Drew-anti cry from afar while clutching their limited-edition Jailey keychains.

My guy, my gal, my enby pal, do you even HAVE friends?!?

You're only nice for the first month or so and THAT'S IT, you've gone past the expiry date of nice and become mean and brutally insult each other lightheartedly and call each other "Freak" affectionately. Sometimes it takes even less than that.

Again, they were two of the only few people he trusted.

And they also broke that trust by hiding Zoey's cheating from him. They even think about her gold-digging as JOKE (flashback to ep2 opening scene).

"They were blackmailed!!"

I don't even think I have the patience to elaborate on why that is a stupid fucking excuse. Zoey had no dirt on Jake, no?

They could have told him to tell Drew, or they could have just told him but tell him not to tell Zoey they were the ones who told on her or whatever.

I think the only reason Drew stuck with them during the finale was because he was truly alone. He had nobody else, so he stuck with the last shred of his life before Jake left, even if he hated them now (still can't wait for the Drake-up 2.0, where Drew breaks off his friendship with Henriam and falls into deep, deep depression<44).

(WAIT FUCK THEN DRIAM WONT BE CANON SH-)

Lia(and why Dria /p will never happen imo):

Yeah no it won't happen. Lia distanced herself from Zoey,and she will definitely start hanging out with Jake and the others and completely ditch the Dromies.

Yknow just completely cut off Drew from any form of emotional support system let him SUFFER

JAKE:

Oh the dreaded part-

Here we go ig.

Jake sucks. He was a horrible friend. That is the thesis, that is the topic sentence, that is what I will start with.

Let me just document every major shitty thing Jake did that I can remember atm.

1. He blackmailed Zoey and hid the fact that she was cheating on Drew from him, which breaks his trust (I elaborated on this more in my ep.3 analysis!!)

2. He lied to Drew about being grounded to ditch him for club practice, I am not even gonna try to explain why that is super shitty anybody with 2 braincells and 2 milligrams of basic human decency (which Jake apparently lacks) should be able to realize this on their own. Especially since Drew clearly has trust and attachment issues (his clearly possessive nature of Jake, being that he is one of the closest people to home). Actually, he also lied to him at the end of ep1 wtmf

3. Trying to give his laptop away to Sean. It isn't even about how rude it is to give away an expensive gift, it is about how oblivious Jake is to Drew's feelings. He doesn't even CARE about what Drew feels at all.

Drew feels like Jake is his closest friend, like he's the only person who truly understands him, when this shows that it is quite the opposite in fact.

Jake doesn't understand that it is more than just an expensive gift given by a spoiled kid with too much money to spend. It is a symbol of how much Drew loves him (platonically or otherwise). All of the gifts he buys for him are.

Drew is emotionally-constipated. We (sadly) don't get to see how they met exactly (only one picture to elude to it). But, I think I have an idea.

Drew sees Jake, a loner who's bullied by everyone and sitting all alone. He feels bad and wants to talk to him. He doesn't know how to approach him, so he tries the only way he knows.

All of his other friends and classmates would always seem impressed and fawn over him whenever his parents would buy him something new, so maybe it would work this time?

So he approaches Jake, and offers to let him play with his new switch, because that is the only possible way (in his head) to talk to him.

It is not like Jake doesn't value Drew, but this shows how little he actually knows; that him trying to fit in has caused him to completely misunderstand Drew. Idk man I don't really like Jake so I don't like analysing him please any jake kinnie try to explain.

Now, Jake has been spending a lot of time with the music club, and that has been triggering Drew's attachment issues. What was so great about those freaks anyway??

That whole scene in ep.9 was just his attachment and validation issues on full display, an essay on jagged--dust-jacket-analysis explains way better than I ever could, so check it out!!

When Jake yells at him and leaves in ep.10 and implies that there is something Zoey is hiding it...it breaks him, for all the reasons I stated before.

After Henriam explain everything, it just confuses and hurts him more.

But why would Jake hide this from him? Wasn't he his best friend? Why is he apologising to those freaks, but not him?!

It must be that Hailey girl, she is the one fucking with his head.

He'll confront her. He'll expose her for the fraud she is, and then Jake wi-

(Look please bear with me on this part ik the drake up is a meme now but please let us try to treat it seriously for once)

"Back off, Drew"

Jake chose the freaks. Jake is defending them.

"The club is what I care about- MY FRIENDS!"

His friends?? What was he??

This...this was all for Daisy wasn't it?

What passion was he talking about?!

He never told them anything!!

Why would he hide Zoey's cheating from him!?

Wasn't he his best friend?!

Was he lying to them this whole time..?

"You're right. Drew, Henry, Liam, I'm sorry,"

He is sorry. Drew didn't bother listening to the rest. It was basically confirming what he'd already concluded.

Jake lied to him.

They all did.

"I'm sorry"

Those words were meaningless.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, that's what they all said!

Accepting this apology would make him seem weak.

Allowing Jake to abandon him would make him weak.

Breaking down crying would make him weak.

Apologising, when he'd done absolutely nothing wrong in his own eyes, would make him weak.

And if there is one thing Drew hated more than anything else, it is appearing weak.

Appearing vulnerable, letting people take advantage of him like all of his friends and his girlfriend did.

"I'm done with you,"

Drew walked away without making eye contact with anybody. He didn't even look to see if Henry and Liam were following him, and he frankly didn't care.

They were all assholes anyways.

They all used him.

Nobody mattered to him anymore. He was fine before meeting them, he'd definitely be fine without them, right?

Drew was leaving them all behind, he'd cut them out.

He would be better off without them.

Conclusion/Closing Thoughts:

I must admit, this did turn fanfic-y midway and it is not the most well-put together, I was really rushing to finish this.

A lot of what I am describing here is my subjective opinion and what I percieve ad Drew's P.O.V, not the objective facts.

Another confession I must make is that most of what is here is just me projecting a few months of therapy sessions onto Drew. My therapist dissected a lot of internal issues with me naturally, and they served to help me understand myself better and realize how much of my own issues applied on Drew aswell.

As I progress with my therapy and learn more about my own baggage, I might be able to remove the biased lens that I am seeing Drew through and might write a more well-constructed and objective analysis of him in the near future.

For now, however, this is all I have. Hope you liked it!! Happy late-birthday to Drewy Bear, and have a great day/night everybody!!!

If you're looking for only mcd ships, I'd love to see a blurb on Aph and Zoey

MCD Zoeymau Blurb! What if when Zoey moved in with Aphmau, she also confessed her feelings?

Btw Zoey is like 7 feet tall in my brain

(Also I will write any Aphverse blurbs I just specialize in MCD)

"Zoey, I've got a surprise for you!" Aphmau cheered out as she skipped into the plaza. Irene help Zoey, she didn't know how much longer she could take this. Who gave her the right to be this cute all the time?

"And what would that be?" Zoey asked as she came out in front of her stand.

"Well it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I told you, now would it?"

"Depends on what it is."

"Are you busy right now?"

"Just taking stock. What do you need?" Aphmau held her hand out, and Zoey didn't even think about taking it and letting her lead. It was like second nature. She just let this adorable woman lead her through her village, waving to everyone they passed, but Aph never lost sight of her goal. She lead Zoey up the hill to her house, where she then stopped.

"So, as you know, Brendan and Nana have been doing some renovations," Aph started.

"Well aware of that," Zoey replied.

"Well, during their renovations, I asked Nana to... Add some stuff."

"Like what?" Aphmau just smiled, and pulled Zoey into her house. The main floor was completely barren, so Aph was quickly dragging Zoey downstairs, a route she was all too familiar with. What was new were two doors in the walls. One of them housed Laurance, and the other had a green outline around it, along with a string of fairy lights above the door.

Zoey dropped Aphmau's hand, her entire body starting to feel... Something. Some rush of energy she didn't quite recognize. She stepped forward carefully, as if moving too fast might break whatever spell had just been cast on her. She placed her hand on the doorknob, before turning to Aph, who just gave her an enthusiastic nod. A turn, and a click. Zoey stepped in and...

She was home. The room was plain, clearly left as a blank canvas for Zoey to work on. Despite being in the side of a hill, the window had a beautiful view of Phoenix Drop. She could hang fairy lights or glass art there, and there was a table ready for her to do her magic on. And the bed was not only covered in a big green blanket, but it was big enough for two people. Zoey was home.

"So..." Aphmau began nervously. "Do you like it?" Zoey turned around and only one thing went through her mind when she saw those amber eyes staring up at her.

"I-I love you," Zoey blurted out. There was a slight delay, as if both of them doubted that Zoey really said that. A second layer she could feel heat rising to her cheeks, and her hands started to become shaky. "I-I mean it! I love it! I love the room, a-and..." She swallowed, terrified of the fact that she couldn't read Aphmau's expression. She just had to go for it. "And I love it because it means I get to live here with you. And I love you. I-I love you a lot!" Zoey felt like a total idiot, her hands wouldn't stop shaking, and Aphmau was just staring at her. Even two seconds of silence was enough to drive her insane, despite entire decades she had spent alone. "Please just say something..."

Another beat of silence. This time it lasted long enough for Zoey to notice the fact that Aphmau's cheeks were starting to turn bright red. Was she...?

"Zoey I..." She swallowed, the words getting caught in her throat. "I had no idea you felt that way."

"I do. I-I have for a while. Since you came back from Brightport."

"Are you serious?" Zoey nodded, not trusting herself to speak anymore. She couldn't tell if her heart was about to break or soar. The uncertainty was killing her. She had to be reasonable though. Aphmau just found out about this. There's no way she could expect an immediate response from someone who was constantly working on so many things all the time.

"Y-You don't have to--"

"I think I love you too." Zoey's heart skipped a beat. Then it fluttered.

"You think?" The hopefulness in her voice was crushing. Aphmau nodded confidently.

"I think I do!" She suddenly rushed forward, throwing her arms around Zoey's torso and burying her face into Zoey's stomach. She didn't last there for long before Zoey just picked her up so they could hug properly. Instead Aphmau buried her face into the crook of Zoey's neck, though they were both laughing like lovestruck dorks, and it did nothing to muffle the sound.

For a moment they just held each other. Just existed in the euphoria of the moment. Then a thought occurred to Zoey. One that she had thought about many times, but was always sure it would never happen. Best to live in the fleeting moment.

"Can I kiss you?" Zoey suddenly asked. Aphmau flinched slightly, and then pat Zoey's back twice. She set the girl down and knelt down to be at least closer to her level. "It's okay if the answer is no."

"I-I've just never kissed anyone," Aphmau admitted shyly.

"I completely understand--"

"But..." She looked into Zoey's eyes and something just felt... Right. "I wouldn't mind having it taken by you."

"Are you sure?" Aphmau stepped forward, and caught Zoey's lips in an unexpected kiss. One that lasted longer than she thought it would, but when she felt like pulling away, it didn't feel right. She just wanted to stay like this with Zoey forever. For a moment the two just held each other.

Zoey pulled away, an irreverent smile on her face.

"I'm sure," Aphmau answered.

Book Blurb: From the New York Times bestselling author of My Dearest Darkest comes another incredible sapphic horror.

When four best friends with a hunger for human flesh attend a music festival in the desert they discover a murderous plot to expose and vilify the girls and everyone like them. This summer is going to get gory.Three years ago, the melting of arctic permafrost released a pathogen of unknown origin into the atmosphere, causing a small percentage of people to undergo a transformation that became known as the Hollowing. Those impacted slowly became intolerant to normal food and were only able to gain sustenance by consuming the flesh of other human beings. Those who went without flesh quickly became feral, turning on their friends and family. However, scientists were able to create a synthetic version of human meat that would satisfy the hunger of those impacted by the Hollowing. As a result, humanity slowly began to return to normal, albeit with lasting fear and distrust for the people they'd pejoratively dubbed ghouls.Zoey, Celeste, Valeria, and Jasmine are all ghouls living in Southern California. As a last hurrah before their graduation they decided to attend a musical festival in the desert. They have a cooler filled with hard seltzers and SynFlesh and are ready to party.But on the first night of the festival Val goes feral, and ends up killing and eating a boy. As other festival guests start disappearing around them the girls soon discover someone is drugging ghouls and making them feral. And if they can't figure out how to stop it, and soon, no one at the festival is safe.

Review:

Four best ghoul friends, a music festival gone wrong, and complicated relationships. When the world went through the Hollowing, it caused certain individuals to become ghouls who wanted to consume flesh... however the world adapted and created SynFlesh, a way for ghouls to eat and still behave like normal individuals. now four best friends: Zoey, Celeste, Val, and Jasmine have all become ghouls and are just living their best life, Celeste ( the influencer of the group) got them tickets to a music festival in the desert. With a cooler full of hard selzers and SynFlesh, the girls just want to have fun... except things are about to get bloody when at the festival the girls realize that someone is drugging ghouls to make them go feral and bodies begin dropping. When Val is drugged they have to figure out who and why, and it does not help that some band boys have made it very clear that they think ghouls deserve to die.... on top of that Zoey has begun to have a crush on Celeste but having a crush on your best friend can be difficult if you dont want to ruin the relationship. What’s a ghoul suppose to do? With more ghouls being infected, and more bodies dropping, Zoey and her friends will have to find a way to get the cure before it’s too late and they all become feral or before no one makes it out of the festival alive. This was such a cute read it gave me Jennifer’s Body vibes and I adored it. The friendship and care these girls have for each other was so sweet and as the iconic scene from Jennifer’s Body goes:

So yes, I definitely recommend this book. It’s queer, its romantic, its fun and campy and its just an all around great read!

*Thanks Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Fire, Sourcebooks Fire for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

hsupdates #HarryStyles was spotted with photographer Violet Collins having dinner in Paris yesterday.

People lately have been suspicious if they are only friends or more, since they been very close with each other. Not to mention that it seems that they are alone in this trip: PARIS - the love city ;) What’s you’re thoughts…?

Heyy… so I saw your 1000 Follower celebration and I think this is a very sweet Idea, so I definitely have no choice but to „participate“ in this. So the fandom I’d like would be Bridgerton, with option two. I’d want the blurb to be with one of the guys, romantically (but please not Anthony since I’m not a huge fan of him in that way, if that makes sense)

So let’s see… some thinks about me:

My Name is Alissa (she/her) no idea if you’ll include names or not but just to be sure

I have roots in Germany (the west to be oddly specific)

I have brown hair, brown eyes & my skin is probably what people would describe as tanned, but it must be natural since I barely leave the house 😂 fun fact because of that people also always thought I was adopted because my parents look very white

My hair is a bit longer than shoulder length and it’s really straight

I’m around 5‘3, if that’s something you wanna include as well

In my free time I often draw, mostly Portrait but sometimes also animals. I always hoped I could make this my profession at some point but I haven’t gotten that lucky yet. I’ll be working on it tho :)

I also read a lot and write a bit as well

I love all animals, especially dogs (I have one named Zoey)

My favorite color is Purple 💜

The most important thing in my life is definitely my family. I hate being away from them for too long. I’m very close with my mum and stepdad, they have always been there for me when I’ve had a hard time (back in school for example) since I was struggling a lot with anxiety and depression (wow feels good to admit that)

(You don’t have to use all of this, but I think it’s better if you have a few options so it’s easier to write)

I think that’s a lot of information already. If there’s anything I forgot please tell me, I’m really tired right now since I’m writing this at 2 AM so I wouldn’t be surprised if I did forget something 😂

Well, thanks so much for doing this. It’s such a sweet Idea 💗

- Alissa 🪐

hi!

thank you for participating :)

i ship you with benedict!

you’re an artist, like he is. it’s not a profession you can really make a living out of at the time, at least unless you’re already rich. it’s not a profession people generally respect, despite the greats becoming rich and famous. regardless of your skill level, or how well known your work would be, benedict would absolutely adore that you value art as much as he does. when he’d have a block, you’d give him ideas. you’d inspire him to create what he loves, not what others expect of him. you’d always encourage him to create, never judging his choices. whatever the outcome, you’d praise it. he’d never feel judged or embarrassed by you.

you seem like a gentle soul, which he’d really love. not only does he love art, but he loves literature and poetry. he’d think of you with every poem he read, and in any he writes. he’d see you in the gentle things of the world. a flower blooming in the first of spring, or one of the horses having a baby foal. you’d be a breath of fresh air for him, always making him feel light and airy. he’d be content as long as he was with you. if you didn’t want to go out, he’d be content to stay in. wherever you were, even if it was away from the ton, he’d be.

he’d also love that you value family. he cares so much for his, and is constantly surrounded by them. if you got along with them well, he’d love you even more. being around them, you’d never feel alone. but there’d still be days you felt alone, even with all of them around you. benedict understands this, being the second born son who is considered far less important than anthony by society. i think benedict struggles with his own mental illness. when you finally confided with him about yours, he’d think you were the bravest person in the world. getting up and facing every day with a smile on your face, despite your struggles, you’d inspire him even more, if that was even possible.

benedict would go through a period of a few days to week where he hadn’t drawn or painted anything at all. one day you’d walk in to see him sitting by the window, finally painting a sketch you’d seen him drawing in the weeks prior. a lavender flower.

“what are you doing, love? is that lavender?”

“it is,” he’d smile up at you, motioning for you to come closer. “lavender is said to reduce stress and anxiety. and i know purple is your favorite color. purple is associated with admiration. like mine for you.”

you’d nearly cry at his expression, smiling tearful down at him as he set down his brushes.

“we’re getting this one framed. i hope you know that.”

he’d chuckle, wiping his hands before wrapping an arm around your waist. “you like it then, i take it?”

“i love it,” you’d smile, bending down to press a kiss to the top of his head. “and i love you.”

“i love you too, darling.”

i hope you liked this! i really enjoyed reading about you and writing this for you. thank you again for participating :)

For eight-year-old Carl Pozzi, 1968 begins like any other year—playing kickball with friends and enjoying the comforting aroma of Mom's pasta dinners in their predominantly white suburban Whisper Haven home. But when Carl's teacher introduces lessons about racial prejudice and injustice, his worldview cracks wide open. How far can innocence stretch before it snaps? As Carl flips through the pages of his 3-ring binder, each lesson serves as a gateway to a journey of self-discovery and understanding. It's an expedition that not only changes him but reshapes his whole concept of family and justice—especially as he watches his father put on a police uniform during one of the most fraught periods in American history. Covered in Flour is not just a heartfelt stroll down memory lane. It's a captivating coming-of-age saga that digs deep beneath the surface of suburban tranquility. It beckons you to reconsider long-held family values and confront the societal norms you've taken for granted. Written with genuine love, humor, and a tinge of sorrow, this story blends the nostalgia of tradition with the inevitability of change, offering a stirring mix that leaves you pondering long after the last page is turned. This book isn't just a delightful read; it's a catalyst for introspection, freshly baked and served for your soul.

Let's peel back the layers of history together, shall we? The Civil Rights Movement and Racial Tensions 1968 was a cornerstone for the civil rights movement, especially marked by the loss of Martin Luther King Jr. Through the eyes of our young protagonist and his family, we're thrust into the midst of race riots, a tangible representation of the era's strife. His father, a figure of law and authority, stands on the frontlines, offering us a window into the raw challenges faced by those sworn to protect amidst a backdrop of societal upheaval. Race isn't just a theme in our story; it's the very pulse of the narrative, shaping every moment of our protagonist's journey. It's about the struggle to find a balance between the heritage that binds us and the change that propels us forward. Through the protagonist's eyes, we confront prejudices—both inherited and hidden within. This journey underscores the power of compassion, the strength found in understanding, and the crucial fight against hate. Political Turmoil and the Vietnam War As we navigate the tumultuous waters of the Vietnam War, our story captures the essence of a family ensnared in the web of political and social discord. The departure of the cousin to Vietnam intertwines the personal pains with the political, reminding us of the war's ripple effects on American families. Politics at the Dinner Table and Beyond Then there's the slice of life from our mock election, where politics spilled from the TV screens and newspapers straight onto our dinner table. Nixon, Wallace, and Humphrey weren't just candidates; they were characters in our daily conversations, shaping our understanding of democracy and citizenship. This moment, a microcosm of the national scene, paints a vivid picture of how deeply politics influenced our young minds and the conversations that shaped our perceptions of right, wrong, and everything in between. Reflection and Resonance Covered in Flour transcends the bounds of a mere historical narrative; it's a meditation on how the events of 1968 continue to resonate, shaping the characters' views, relationships, and destinies. By weaving personal stories with the historical fabric, the novel invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of that pivotal year and its lessons for future generations. As you wander through the pages of Covered in Flour, remember, it's more than a journey through time. It's a reminder of the complexities of our shared history, the resilience of the human spirit, and the imperative to grasp our past firmly to chart a course for our future.

REVIEW

Her Every Secret by G.L. Redding

Great synopsis that intrigued me and made me hope this would be a great new steamy romantic suspense novel that would draw me in and keep me interested as I read. Instead, I found myself skimming quickly to find out how it would all work out and wishing that there was more. More character development, backstory, and information about the kidnapped girl.

Zoey Miller has a difficult past and made some rather poor decisions that come out as she reveals what the 911 caller is requiring for him to release an abducted young girl. Zoey tells each difficult event from her past peeling away what she had hoped would remain secret. Giving away those secrets here is not going to happen but they do explain why she is as she is.

Jack is on the police force in the town he and Zoey met long ago. He had a crush on her then, but his time was never right to be with her. He hopes this time they might find a happily ever after, though. When the kidnapping case overlaps with a stalker-ish rather threatening kidnapper, Jack is ready to protect and keep Zoey safe. The two seem to hit it off even after the secrets begin to emerge on the 911 calls.

This has a great premise and the writing flows. The flashbacks popped up unexpectedly and didn’t do so seamlessly leaving me feeling a bit of whiplash at times. I had trouble liking the main characters or seeing them together as a couple as I didn’t see what would draw them together beyond physical. Do they have values in common? Do they want a similar future? Will they want to stay in the small town or head back to the city? I ended up with more questions than answers and the ending seemed a bit unfinished or perhaps tacked on.

For a debut novel, this was done well. I feel the author will grow as she writes and would perhaps read another of her books in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rufous Press for the ARC – this is my honest review.

3 Stars

BLURB

An innocent life is at stake. The ransom? Every secret I’ve ever had. Zoey Miller, is used to managing other people’s crises — not her own. That’s what ditching her flashy PR job and moving to small-town Missouri was supposed to be escape. But when a 911 caller demands Zoey’s dirtiest secrets in exchange for the life of an innocent young girl, it’s clear her past isn’t going anywhere. Instead, it’s about to board the town gossip train. Anchored to his hometown by his grieving mother, Jack Moore’s big-city detective dreams have been replaced by a sleepy small-town beat. When his teenage crush unexpectedly ends up in his bed, Jack knows he wants more from Zoey than a no-strings fling. But then her ugly past is forced into the light by a malicious stalker, and Jack realizes he’s going to have to move quickly to keep the woman he loves. As the case heats up, so do Zoey’s and Jack’s feelings — something Zoey can’t allow. Because nice men like Jack don’t like tainted women like her. And now, there’s nowhere to hide... HER EVERY SECRET is a steamy open-door romance thriller, featuring sizzling suspense, a hot cop, and the broken woman he’s sworn to save. NOTE: After undergoing rigorous editing, the story gains new twists that plunge Zoey and Jack into a web of intrigue they never saw coming. Just when they think they have it all figured out, the shocking ending reveals a truth more sinister than they could have imagined.
