Situationship

by Meikko Sheiree

Nayelli is a college student with a restless soul, excited at the prospect of adventure and self-discovery during her first ever trip overseas. Nayelli is to spend the Christmas holidays visiting her friend Olivia who is studying in London, but instead finds herself alone in a strange city. It is in the midst of the cobblestone streets of the British capital that Nayelli's path intertwines with that of James, a charismatic Londoner with a captivating charm.

James is a budding actor and musician who naturally exudes talent and ambition, but at times has a slight sadness in his eyes-an emotional unavailability that James refuses to admit even exists. Comfortable behind his shield of casual encounters and fleeting connections, James is both shocked and confused when he finds himself not as detached to Nayelli as he should be-especially since she lives thousands of miles away.

Will Nayelli and James be able to get out of their own heads and lead with their hearts, or will it all come crashing down in heartache and unfulfilled dreams?

Meikko Sheriee's captivating new novel explores the pursuit of passion, the unpredictable tides of the heart, and the universal quest for belonging. It reminds us that sometimes unexpected encounters make for the greatest lessons in the growth of one's own heart.

Stunning book. I was completely lost in Nayelli’s world and London itself. Nayelli’s narration is so profoundly personal and relatable on such a deep level and I found myself reflected in almost every one of her inner thoughts. James, too, is an extremely well-written character that I was grateful to learn from throughout the story. Their relationship was beautiful to read and heartbreaking to be torn from when I finished the book. Situationships need to be written about more in literature; not all romantic relationships are clean and tidy and perfect. This book was a breath of fresh air and I loved every second of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished Situstionship… it is a must read! This not-so-typical romance novel is a captivating story that had me laughing, and rooting for Nayeli as she navigated life as she travels to London to have some fun…and find so much more. Definitely worth reading for yourself, I certainly enjoyed it! And a lil spice thrown in there too, Meikko Sheiree did a great job!
