Dear Reader or Anyone Who Just Happens To Come Across My Story,
Do you ever feel tired and afraid of the possibility of being rejected, dumped or just being plainly ignored by the guy you like? If you are, then maybe you just might relate to this book.
If you have a tendency to have trouble in the love area, the commitment area and the trusting area – welcome.
If you are a weird, crazy, getting caught in daily awkward moments type of person looking for leisurely humor and sarcasm, you have come to the right place.
My main character-slash-heroine, Ave, thinks she’s solved the problem of never giving up her heart on a stake. With a past riddled with rejections and witnessing heartbreak around her while growing up, Ave would rather not end up as anyone’s hopeless dumpee. So what does she do? She comes up with the perfect one-word philosophy to avoid heartbreak and easily move on. What it is you may ask? (Clue: It’s the title of the book;))
That’s right, it’s called the DITCH. So when a guy is just not interested in you, don’t be the fool to hang there with flies in your mouth while he goes out with another girl. In other words, move on while you still can.
And it works, well that is in Ave’s case. With a record of zero heartbreak, she is what you can call a jaded a pathetic veteran badass when it comes to love. So it comes to mind. Is her DITCH rule really all that it’s caught up to be, even when it’s the only thing keeping her from letting any guy close enough?
Ave is about to find out soon when she finds herself tangled with not just one but three guys. Will it be with the rare kind of guy she can call as a friend? Will it be with the school’s heartbreaker and number one player? Or will it be with the mysterious new guy in town with his own secret agendas?
I am having so much fun writing and building up the foundations of the story, its setting and its characters – especially Ave’s. She might seem to be a rebel, selfish, a bit insensible but really she’s something else (I don’t want to reveal anything too soon ha-ha!). But I have to say this, like any person, she has a past. It had shaped her to be who she is now along with her reluctance to feel deep feelings for anyone aside from friendship. And that’s when her life gets shaken up.
DITCH is more than just another teenage love story. It is a romantic coming-of-age story with a strong and stubborn female lead and an interesting ensemble of characters who are more than what meets the eye. Of course, it won’t be complete without the struggles and challenges that our heroine has to face.
Ave might think that all she needs to do is make the list and write the book. But along the way, she might discover more of herself than she bargained for and must make decisions for herself if she really wants to grow and be the person she is supposed to be.
P.S. Story is still in the process. I have no clear schedule of my updates and I can be a grammar-nazi sometimes so constant re-editing and re-updates are eventual and unavoidable. I am still not sure of how I want my story to go so feel free to critique or comment and please be patient.
Yours Truly,
