Excerpt:

Melissa whipped around and found herself staring into two green eyes. Alex’s tan glowed, even in the dim light. He stared into Melissa’s eyes before giving her a half smile.
“Come sit with me,” he said.
Melissa’s heart throbbed, “I have a…”

Alexis Moutinho
I am seventeen years old and this is my first book. Yes, that is me on the cover. I felt that every person, girl, boy, teen, adult, or whoever goes through times that seem impossible. “It was Serendipitous” was written to show these struggles and show that these hardships must end and that there is good in every situation. But this is getting too deep. The book is written to make the reader feel the emotions with the character, it’s a very fun book. It shows the fun side of summer as a teen while your only cares are your tan and your boyfriend. Each character has a different personality that will make the reader love or hate them.
