“I wanna be in love, I wanna be adored, I wanna be something more”

“Do you come what you came for? Did you answer your questions? Did you put out the fire or fuel the flames?”

The curtains have closed

And so it goes,

The costumes come off

And we put on our clothes

Yet something inside me

Deeply knows,

The true story has only begun

To unfold

Josh Levi - Something More

I'm well overdue to post this to Tumblr, but I'm excited to share my collaboration with YA romance author Jackie Kahlilieh on the preorder campaign for her upcoming book, SOMETHING MORE!

From Goodreads:

A contemporary teen romance novel featuring a Palestinian-Canadian girl trying to hide her autism diagnosis while navigating her first year of high school, for fans of Jenny Han and Samira Ahmed. 

Fifteen-year-old Jessie, a quirky loner obsessed with the nineties, is diagnosed as autistic just weeks before starting high school. Determined to make a fresh start and keep her diagnosis a secret, Jessie creates a list of goals that range from acquiring two distinct eyebrows to getting a magical first kiss and landing a spot in the school play. Within the halls of Holy Trinity High, she finds a world where things are no longer black and white and quickly learns that living in color is much more fun. But Jessie gets more than she bargained for when two very different boys steal her heart, forcing her to go off-script.

This book is beautiful, y'all. Jackie is blazing a trail with this authentic and heartfelt depiction of a Palestinian-Canadian autistic teen, and if you live in the United States or Canada and preorder the book, you can submit your receipt to the link below and get the following swag:

A CD jewel case featuring my art (center) with a QR code to take you directly to Jessie's curated playlist!

An illustrated bookmark by me featuring #teamLevi and #teamGriffin

4 Vinyl stickers plus an art print of Jessie, Griffin, & Levi by the legendary Archie Comics illustrator, Fernando Ruiz!

Niall dreamt in his feelings. So so so many feelings. So much emotion. It was important that he feel human. It was very important that he feel loved.

Perhaps even now she had already lost him, or lost, it was more just to say, her illusion of something more, something closer and more precious, which he had yet to give her.

It is that, she forever said, but also something more. The phrase had come to live in Henry's head. Something more explained perfectly why he could never say what he meant--something more, by its definition, would always be different than what you already had in your hand.

Hey! I just finished something more and I loved it! I was just wondering if you were ever going to add onto the one-shots! Totally cool if not, I 100% understand being done with a story/plot. I just really loved the story and would love to see more!

Ahh thank you so much! 💕💕

I am hoping to! I know it's been forever since I've gotten back to those and I'm so sorry!! Life has been a bit crazy and I don't have as much time to write as I'd like to, but fingers crossed I'll finish those.

Do the planets ever yearn for more

Like a girl, hollow and bound shut behind her door?

Or do they know they are the greatest gift waiting to be found,

Could she be just what the world needs, now?
