"Dear Inspiration,

You're invited to my apartment today. Specifically the little red couch of which I adore. I'll be awake at seven in the morning, but please don't arrive until after eight. Make sure it's before nine though because I have to work at eleven. I'll be waiting.

With love and adoration,

Adrian."(less)

The best read order is

1. When the Past Finds You
2. Don't Quit Your Daydream
3. Love Me At My Worst
4. Inside These Halls
5. Maybe Someday

Don't Quit Your Daydream & Love Me at My Worst happen simultaneously timeline was, so you can read those to in either order.

Inside These Halls also happens right around that timeline as well, but is probably best read after those two.

I hope this helps. (less)

What Prime Days mean for an author…
