Goddess A. Brouette specializes in taking risks with her complex and well-developed characters. She isn’t afraid to dive into the complexities of a character’s mind and push them to their limits to see how far they can go. Whether the characters are developing negatively or positively, it’ll be a wild ride any time you open one of her books.

Born in The Bronx, New York, she always found herself immersed in a fantasy world in order to see something other than the bustling city streets. In fact, she won two poetry awards gifted to her by New York City in middle school. After that, she spent almost a decade focused on character development by writing on Tumblr. After moving to Virginia, she majored in Business at Bridgewater College and was heavily involved in their theater department doing hair and makeup for various plays. But despite all of this, she wanted to go back to writing full-length stories and her author career had begun.

When would you realize that the reality you’re experiencing isn’t your own?

For Arlissa Benson, nothing was more important than experiencing a love that burned just as bright as the ones in young adult dramas. Her love life paid homage to the movies her sister loved before she died. But falling for a famous boxer proved to be more dangerous than what she witnessed on the big screens. Now, she’s facing a media circus as she stands on trial for Xavier Amari’s murder.

Arlissa had given up a small town life to mold herself into the person he asked her to be. She became an overnight sensation; the model everyone envied with fans and blogs keeping tabs on her through social media posts. However, when she needs a support system the most, no one is left to care. The bridges she's burned have proven to be unfixable— and the world she knows is bending until it breaks.

Arlissa finds herself lost between two worlds and struggling to find her exit. In one, she’s a mother in the process of bringing down an empire. But in the other, she’s alone in a world that’s lacking color. If she loses this case, she loses her daughter.

Who do you run to when you can’t trust your own reflection? Arlissa struggles to find hope until it shows itself in the unlikeliest of events.

Is it real? Is it fake? Or is it all just life?

A young woman chases a life worthy of a primetime drama and realizes the consequences of her actions a little too late in this heartbreaking yet reality-shifting debut novel by Goddess A. Brouette.

If you had the chance to recall every event that led you to your biggest regret- would you take it?

After graduating high school, Arlissa Benson doesn't isn't sure where to go next in life. She's been playing the cards life has dealt her, but not intelligently. However, her best friend Alejandra Garcia provides her with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow her to Los Angeles and watch her kick off her music career. Arlissa's test begins now.

Who am I? What do I want to be when I grow up? What will I do when I find my dead boyfriend in bed? Questions she never asked herself, but probably should have. Impressionable and unworldly, Arlissa is thrown into a life she never asked for. But what no one knows is that her dead sister's voice acts as her conscience, guiding her down a more entertaining path; rather than a smart one.

There's a new definition to the word \"lost\" as Arlissa finds herself wandering Los Angeles without a clear direction. However, when she meets professional boxer Xavier Amari, maybe things aren't so dreadful after all. What could be so bad about the man who only shows up in the middle of the night and is obsessed with chasing sunrises and sunsets? Surely, he doesn't have any inner demons that take excessive amounts of drugs to control. The pair form a strong connection, despite the warning signs surrounding them.

What Arlissa doesn't realize is the truth has always been written in red ink right in front of her, this game called life isn't a movie. And no one is playing fair.

\"I’m speechless, I don’t even know where to start. This book is full of emotions, peer pressure and living your dreams. This coming of age story of Arlissa is powerful and very moving too.\"

— Keema Osborne

\"You are missing out if you sleep on this book. I am utterly shocked how fast I read this book...\"

— Angelia Johnson

\"...The only thing that kept me from reading this book in one sitting was homework.\"

— Anonymous

\"...a tour de force and not at all what I expected. I had anticipated that the story would follow the usual love story narrative as the typical elements were in place. However, this story was anything but typical... The emotional roller-coaster dizzying ride of this story will leave you reeling!\"

— C. Lorraine

\"From the very beginning, it is extremely gritty: with characters who are intense, relatable, and sometimes an utter nuisance (which you eventually learn to accept and appreciate). Thrills throughout the entirety of the story, as well as the bone-chilling decisions made on behalf of Arlissa, make the journey of finding herself within this whole new atmosphere as interesting as it is long... And she’s in for a treat.\"

— Cindy

\"A masterpiece from start to finish. ... Brouette’s debut novel is full of fundamentally flawed and layered characters that swept off my feet and left me heartbroken.\"

— Jor El
