Author: Jeremy Couture
Publisher: JTC PRESS
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
This quick-reading, adult fiction novel takes place at the start of Ezra’s junior year of High School and ends just as he heads off to his first year of college. The story is told as if reading Ezra’s actual journal. Ezra is not your typical All-Star American quarterback. He has just joined the varsity team of his 5A high school. He is beloved by almost everyone who knows him & football is his life. Threatening his picture-perfect life are his grades. He shines in English, choir, drama & art. However, advanced mathematics and science are not his thing. With his grades threatening to bench him during his undefeated high school football season. He must make some real changes to get his grades up. So that, he can continue to do what he loves. Enter his tutor, Maxim. This isn’t your average coming-of-age story. This is a steamy and chaotic time for Ezra. As he explores his hormonal desires, he is thrust into a world of sex, drugs, and parties. He almost loses himself and has got to find his way back to winning. Will he find himself? Will he find love or will everything he has worked so hard for come crashing down in defeat? How will he overcome the obstacles set before him? This book is the first of the Couture Confessional Series. An anthology of stand-alone books featuring varied themes all told in journal or diary format in the vein of Go Ask Alice & Jay’s Journal. Early Access Reviews: “A steamy wild ride” – Kevin (Beta Reader) “I don’t even like sports usually & I’m hooked” – Jessica (Beta Reader) “I love the way this is so uniquely done & the ending is beautiful” – Carlo (Beta Reader) “This was awesome! I cannot wait to see what the next story brings” – Allison (Beta Reader) “Keep your socks on guys! So, Ezra can blow them off & keep them. Wow, just wow. This book got me hot under the collar” – Aaron (Beta Reader) A note from the author: I am beyond pleased with the results of this work. I had a dream one night of this lovely young man who had his faults but had a beautiful soul. I feel like this work captured him completely. I wanted to do this in a diary or journal format because I felt like it was the best way to convey the dream as I experienced it. Then as I awoke the idea to make a series of diaries came to mind. Each tells a portion of someone’s life. A hidden portion that is being brought out into the light. Ezra brought out a portion of my memories that I had thought lost. I hope readers of this work find joy and pleasure in their experience with Ezra. I cannot wait to find out what stories arise from within. I also hope the overall tone and feel of this book helps someone else along in their journey of self-discovery. - Jeremy Couture

The truth is that for those who dare to be different school and growing up can be hell. Truth & Dare is a collection of edgy, quirky stories that revolve around a funny, nerdy cast of characters who struggle to fit in . . . or struggle not to.

Witty and smart, these are short stories from the point of view of funny, though not always cool or popular guys and girls, who are dealing with all the pressures of growing up - school, friends, music, relationships, parents, and just plain fitting in (or not).

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends comes another heartbreaking, emotional and timely page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Hope Juvenile Treatment Center is ironically named. No one has hope for the delinquent teenagers who have been exiled there; the world barely acknowledges that they exist. Then the guards at Hope start acting strange. And one day...they don't show up. But when the teens band together to make a break from the facility, they encounter soldiers outside the gates. There's a rapidly spreading infectious disease outside, and no one can leave their houses or travel without a permit. Which means that they're stuck at Hope. And this time, no one is watching out for them at all. As supplies quickly dwindle and a deadly plague tears through their ranks, the group has to decide whom among them they can trust and figure out how they can survive in a world that has never wanted them in the first place. Also by Marieke Nijkamp: This Is Where It Ends Even If We Break Before I Let Go Praise for Marieke Nijkamp: "Immersive and captivating. Thrilling in every sense of the word."—Karen M.
