Red by KC Kean

“To convince a man to marry you, you have to be what they envision. Pretty, quiet, caring, and barefoot in the kitchen.”
My mother’s expectations have never wavered. I’m determined to be more, even if it is within the confines of Featherstone Academy. I’m tired of being forced into a mold I don’t fit in. I want to be me, however that looks. Finding myself, and understanding what matters is my number one focus, over everything else.
Taking inspiration from my reading obsession, I know what I want my life to look like, but getting it is a completely different issue. I’m trying to keep my love life under wraps so nobody can interfere or watch me crash and burn as I try to lose my weak persona.
My senses are flooded with the new temptations that surround me. The deepest voice that makes my insides melt, a searing hot touch from the campus playboy, and the stormy gaze of the world’s biggest jackass. Along with them, comes a deeper exposure into the Featherstone life.
Watching Featherstone close in around my friends, dealing with parental issues, relationship drama, and a stalker, makes me realize I’m drowning in trouble.
Let the sambuca shots burn my throat as I get lost in my own journey of shedding my old skin, and becoming Red.
