[Longer Blurb]
Taylor and Darko, Darko and Taylor: Two lifelong best friends. The two have their differences - Taylor's a musical geek, a natural talent with the piano, and Darko's a gifted dirt-bike enthusiast - but they both share a life-changing secret.
Taylor's bisexual, Darko's gay, and they are both secretly in love with each other.
Over the years, the two have suppressed their feelings, cruising through high school. While it's been easy presenting as macho straight dudes, both boys are sick of the façade, each toying with the idea of coming out in their own unique ways. It's never that easy, though. They're both entangled in two complicated webs--one filled with grief and guilt and another filled with lies--and both have got to navigate through them before either can find the true happiness they seek.
Sometimes, however, the silky threads of the web are more comforting than the unknown abyss below.
Will they come clean about their feelings? Or will they keep a straight face until the very end?

FAMILY
Every year on Charlotte's birthday, her mother takes a picture of her to send to her father that she's never met before. He was a man with dangerous connections so they had to live apart for Charlotte to be safe. But on Charlotte's fifteenth birthday things change. She moves all the way from London to Manhattan with her mom. Charlotte gets to make new friends but also new enemies. The Cassano's are very powerful and Charlotte will soon find out how powerful they truly are. /////// Snippet: "Your sister touched my boobs and slammed me into a locker. Your brothers pushed me up against a locker and choked me. I really don't care for any of the apologies you give me, because let's be honest, they're not genuine."The blond man's jaw dropped but there was no change in Hector's face. He only seemed slightly annoyed that I interrupted him. "Yeah, bestie, you tell him!" Cecelia purred. Eunha gasped and softly slapped Cecelia, but who could really stop her. That girl had no fears. "Let's go." Daniel softly nudged me. I nodded and turned away without saying goodbye. This damn family was getting on my nerves. In this moment I didn't care that I pissed them off. It's what they deserved. But what I would later learn is that this was what kickstarted the whole mess I'd get dragged in. It all started with Hector Cassano getting interested in me.-------#1 in 'littlesister' on 26 January 2022
