About this series
Kimi thought she had everything figured out. She was dating Rachel, the girl of her dreams, and felt secure in their love for each other. But when a new boy named Aaron enters the picture, Kimi begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself. As she grapples with her newfound attraction to Aaron, Kimi starts to realise that she might be bisexual, and that her feelings don't necessarily have to define her.
But navigating her changing identity proves to be more difficult than Kimi ever could have imagined. As she tries to come to terms with her bisexuality, Kimi also has to confront her own insecurities and fears, and figure out what it truly means to love and be loved.
Crushed is a poignant and powerful coming-of-age story about a young woman's journey to self-discovery, and the obstacles she must overcome to find acceptance and happiness. A tale of first love written in easy to read language and dyslexic friendly font that will leave readers rooting for Kimi until the very end.
