Perfectly Accidental

"Sometimes, you’ve got to let go of all you’ve held on to. I feel like I’ve been given a place in life – expectations of me – that it’s useless fighting. So I don’t bother. I’m the guy they all think I am; fighting, smoking, drinking. Because what else is Roman Lombardi but a troubled teen? No one’s convinced I’ve got anything going for me. I take what – and who – I want when I want it, and never think about anything more than a couple of hours in the future. One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident Miss Popular, and she surprises me. With Piper, I can be whatever me I am. I can be the surly, troubled teen and…it’s enough. I’m enough. Feeling shit together makes things just a little less shit. Until it becomes more. But, I don’t do more. Do I? What do you do when you find perfection by accident, in the least likely of places? Maybe you can’t believe you’re finally worth it. Perfectly Accidental is Roman’s story. A Mature YA novel about finding support in the least likely of places, never giving up, and learning that being the real you is always perfect, it is the companion novel to Accidentally Perfect. Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax. Not recommended for younger readers due to mature content. I mean it, this one’s dirtier than Piper’s side."
