Chapter One: The Library and the Sidewalk

GxG WXW

Soft and Strong is a tender, slow-burn sapphic love story about learning to be seen-and loved-as you are.

Maya has mastered invisibility. She hides in quiet corners, behind thick books and thicker walls of self-doubt, convinced that softness makes her vulnerable. That fat girls like her don't get noticed-especially not by girls like Ivy Torres.

Ivy is a track star. Confident, radiant, always in motion. But beneath the surface is a girl who's tired of running-from expectations, from fear, from her own heart.

When a stumble on the sidewalk leads to an unexpected moment between them, their worlds shift.
