"𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓" I can say that I've been Miss Sweet Misery for the last time, except this was just the start back when California dreamin' was our scheme during a hectic global pandemic. Love stories are overrated, and yes, this is one of them. A really strange one, actually. But it's also so much more than just a love story. It's a story of eight star-crossed teens brought together by the cities of Glendale and Los Angeles when we probably should've been staying at home... but the friendship was so strong, how could we possibly not see each other every week? There were crazy adventures and there were crazy confessions, and yes, there was also heartbreak. It's all part of a cliche coming of age and this was ours. - yours truly, Emma Suarez INSPIRED BY: minor + IMYIS by Gracie Abrams and Love Story by Taylor Swift.
