Cherophobia: Confessions of a Lovesick Young Adult follows Jada, a young adult grappling with the complex and often contradictory emotions that come with love and happiness. Cherophobia, the fear of happiness, serves as a metaphor for Jada's internal struggle as she navigates her journey through love, self-discovery, and the pressures that shape her understanding of joy.
This collection of poems shares raw and honest confessions, laying bare Jada's fears, hopes, and moments of bittersweet joy that define her experiences with finding her soulmate. From the thrill of first love to the heartache of unfulfilled expectations, Jada ponders if she has the strength to give up her soulmate and put herself first, to become the person she was always meant to be-even if it means embracing heartbreak.
Delving into the nuances of human emotion, this book captures the essence of what it means to love and be loved, all while fearing the inevitable pain that happiness might bring.
Cherophobia: Confessions of a Lovesick Young Adult is a deeply moving exploration of the human condition, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the sting of vulnerability and the desire for connection.
The Lovesick Series follows Jada Hollingsworth, the Lovesick Liaison, as she navigates the different stages of love throughout her life. The series begins with Limerence and continues throughInfatuation, Monophobia, Cherophobia, and Emophila. Throughout the series, the author explores how various experiences shape our growth, transformation, and understanding of life and love.What makes the Lovesick Series unique is that each book was written during the corresponding time period in the author's life, starting from middle school and progressing through high school, college, young adulthood, and parenthood. This approach makes each book a time capsule, providing an authentic glimpse into the emotions, experiences, and relatability of love at each stage. Each book covers a significant phase of existence and self-discovery, from crushes and relationships to trauma, heartbreak, loneliness, true love, and self-love.
