DANGEROUS CURVES
The Furiously Fast Series Book 2

Excerpt
I sit on the couch in the living room of the house we’ve made a home. It’s ours. Correction, it was ours until a couple of hours ago when my entire life turned upside down. One stupid argument, only it wasn’t a stupid argument, and it wasn’t just one time. It’s the same argument….every damn time. It’s always me and my insecurities that cause the fight. Jaxx has dealt with it for years and now he just can’t anymore. I don’t blame him. If I had been him, I would have left a long time ago.
Jaxx is a social butterfly. He’s confident and outgoing and doesn’t give a shit what anyone says or thinks about him. I envy and admire that about him. I, on the other hand, couldn’t be more different. I’m a freaking mess. Constantly, I search for approval from those around me. I listen too much to what is said about me from people who don’t even know me. Should their opinions matter? Hell no, but do they? More than I’d care to admit.
All of my life, I’ve been teased or treated as an outcast because I’m never good enough. I’m either too fat, too shy, too quiet, too smart…too much of something. So, maybe it’s not that I’m not good enough. Maybe, it’s I’m just too much, but whatever the reason, I know I’ve never fit in. There’s always been someone to make me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I have one friend, Kynlee, who is an angel I swear. That girl has saved me from my own path of self-destruction more times than even she knows. She’s seriously the best friend I could have ever asked for.
Its amazing how much we stand in our own way, regardless of what it involves… Allowing our own insecurities to govern our lives.
Nice to meet you, Stephanie…

nice excerpt
It’s interesting how one can feel alone in their heads and then realize at some point that others feel the same disconnect and beat themselves up. So easy to internalize and push others away. The book sounds interesting.q
