I am an unpublished indie author working on my debut novel - Through Honest Eyes.
This book is:
• 40% unresolved family trauma
• 30% kissing someone you maybe shouldn’t
• 20% Midwestern passive-aggression
• and 10% aggressively specific snack references
You’ll like it if you’ve ever:
• apologized for crying by making a joke too dark for the group chat
• emotionally disassociated in a Walgreens
• wanted to set your childhood house on fire for ✨closure✨
• wished your ex-boyfriend would just say the thing already
Robert, the love interest? Emotionally repressed Midwestern man who owns exactly three shirts and would die for you but won’t admit he’s sad.
Bree, the main character? Spiraling in a grocery store. Again.
Jean? Picture if rage had a favorite lipstick.
I made a family tree because keeping track of the Novak-Soot siblings and their collective breakdowns was a full-time job. If that sounds like your kind of chaos, I’m looking for a few alpha readers who are down for emotionally feral vibes and flawed characters who sometimes make the wrong choice on purpose.
Also: it’s not autobiographical. Except for all the parts that are.
No sign-up pressure. Just click if you’re nosy. You know you are.
A darkly funny, raw journey through love, lies, and self-discovery. Can Brianna survive when honesty is her biggest threat?
