-


 Two best friends who everyone thinks are lovers  are caught up in different webs when they begin to fall in love with people no one expected. 

Charlie can't continue to fight what he is feeling. He knows it. He feels it, but he is scared of accepting it entirely. And even when he does, he stays in the closet, safe, away from prying eyes and people finding out.

For Sage, she knows what everyone expects of her. She knows everyone ships her and her best friend, Charlie, but she doesn't feel the same way about him. Not that she doesn't love Charlie, no, she does, but her love for him ends at being best friends. There is someone else, someone who she fancies and might be in love with, but the fear of heart break, plus Charlie finding out doesn't let her come clean with it. 

If We Were Us is a YA novel on love, trust, sexuality, and friendship. 

K.L Walther writes from the heart, and opens our eyes to feel everything. 

You can get it on Amazon.
