Sweetbitter: A Bad Boy's First Love Story

by Anna Kendra

"Careful, the bullet's still inside my head." Lydia McKenzie used to be just like any other normal, seventeen year old high school girl, fretting over what to wear for school, struggling to get good grades and dealing with boy trouble, until one day, a dangerous incident at school and a severe brain injury, made her turn off her emotions completely. Three years later, she’s a complete robot who works with utmost efficiency without showing any emotions. But things start to change when she arrives at Rosewater University for higher studies. David Lyric Donovan is the quintessential bad boy of Rosewater. Be it getting into useless fights, getting arrested for beating someone to an inch of their life or any other crimes around campus, and not to mention going through girls like a person goes through their clothes, he’s done it all. He’s also a professional street fighter. Girls want to ‘fix’ him and guys want to be him. But nothing bothers him as much as the presence of the new girl, Lydia. She’s upfront and outspoken and she does not have the patience to deal with his shit, and moreover, she gets under his skin without even a slight change in her expression. Who is she and what’s in her past? He’s just as fascinated with her as he is annoyed. Can romance bloom between such a mismatched pair? And will Lydia ever let herself feel again, after what she’d endured?

About the author

I love to paint, write stories and poems, and READDDDD!!!
I’m a feminist (kinda) and I hate it when cute little girls are pushed around and get hurt by the bad boys and the players, so I try to get back at ’em… through my stories.
I like to read a lot of stuff, but they are almost all supernatural. Vampires, lycans, zombies… you name it. Just… not the kind of zombies that fall apart. *yuck*
