So...I probably should have made this book free LAST week, to coincide with Trans Day of Awareness, but this year has already gotten away from me. So it's free through Wednesday of this week--run and get it!
I'm enormously proud of this book, but it's been out for about a year now and I don't think anyone's read it. Thanks in part--I can only assume--to the one crappy review it got from someone who didn't bother to read past the first chapter.
And don't get me wrong--if you don't like a book, by all means write an honest review. But maybe at least be accurate and/or give a character arc a chance to, you know, arc a little bit?
Mostly I'm disappointed for Giaza's sake. I've been in love with her since her first appearance in The Name Game. And I really think that she deserves a chance to shine a little bit, so I'm making the book free from April 4th through the 8th.
If you love it, we'd love to hear about it! If you don't, well we're both big girls, we can handle that, too. But maybe give Giada and Ben a chance before you decide you hate them. I try and make my characters realistic, which means that sometimes they make mistakes out of the gate, sometimes there's a bit of a learning curve, sometimes the "course of true love" doesn't always run smooth.
Giada Mazzi is Living her Best Life
Games We Play 7.0
Life is more than just the lies we try and tell ourselves about what we’ve done and who we are.
I guess the truth is that I never stopped loving Ben. And I never stopped imagining how different my life might have been if he were only the person I needed him to be, instead of the person that he is. Which is silly, right? I mean, truly; it’s laughable. Because if he were someone else, he wouldn’t be him. And the world is already full of people like that. What good is one more gonna do me?
Besides, if I’m honest, Ben wasn’t ever the problem. That was me. I was never the person he believed me to be. Oh, I thought I was, in the beginning. I tried hard to be, and that worked for a while. Sort of. But eventually I reached the point where I had to make a choice between living life for myself, or for everyone else.
And when it came right down to that…how could I not choose me?
