But she’s barely arrived when she finds herself face to face with her teenage crush, now an irresistible man—who still happens to live next door . . .

But as she readies for college, Colin contemplates his own future—which is, of course, exactly when his past shows up, as gorgeous as ever, and twice as fascinating. But Teagan torpedoed his plans once before. Is he crazy to consider letting her into his life again? Is Teagan ready to admit what she’s really afraid of?

Dating blows. Simple as that. It's fun, awkward, sexy, and horrifying. This book is not for the lighthearted, the easily offended, or the sober. This book is not for the girl who doesn't want to hear that the reality of love and relationships can't be found in your favorite rom-com. It's for the girls who want to know that some other girl is just as embarrassing and emotionally screwed up as them, and there is hope...maybe. This is for the girls who know there are rules to dating, even when you don't want to follow them-and you don't always have to follow them. It's about knowing you're one hot bitch and you do what you want because, well...fuck it.
The situationship is fun and fine until it starts affecting your mental health and self-esteem. Like a relationship, it has many of the benefits, but without the commitment or clarity. At the beginning, that’s pretty fun, exciting and carefree. It’s when one person inevitably becomes more attached and emotionally invested than the other that the emotional nightmare begins. There ensues a lot of coming and going, highs and lows, conversations that don’t get us anywhere, and an exhausting hope that they might finally realise our worth and ‘choose’ us! We fall into the 4 toxic traps of the situationship: 1. The emotional addiction 2. The pedestal 3. Falling for potential 4. Familiarity (which does not equal healthy) These dynamics can keep us stuck and anxious, totally available to the other person whenever it suits them, and struggling to cut off the connection. If you are ready to: • Realise & embody your true worth and value • Set and communicate powerful boundaries • Take your power back and start choosing better for yourself • Become attracted to safe & healthy partners • Never settle for less again Then this guide and workbook is the medicine you need to step into that next version of you, and align with the kind of relationship you truly want.
