HIATUS
Alex never expected his life to change the day he met Clara at a bookstore. What started as an easy connection soon turned into a complicated romance; one that he wasn’t ready for. As their relationship unravels, so does Alex’s understanding of himself. His feelings for Dave, his best friend, have always been buried deep beneath the surface, but when an unexpected kiss brings those emotions crashing to the shore, he can no longer ignore them.
Dave, on the other hand, keeps his own feelings hidden behind easy smiles and friendly gestures. To him, Alex is just a friend; at least, that’s what he tells himself. But as tensions rise and emotions spill over, the boundaries between friendship and something more begin to blur.
Meanwhile, Clara faces her own struggles, caught between heartbreak and healing, while Terah and Hannah navigate a toxic relationship that threatens to consume them both. With emotions running high and unspoken words hanging in the air, every choice they make pushes them further into the unpredictable waves of love, regret, and hope.
As friendships are tested and hearts are broken, Alex must decide; will he keep running from himself, or will he finally embrace the love he’s always been afraid of?
Amid personal struggles and shifting dynamics, Between Waves and Hearts explores love, self-discovery, and the bittersweet journey of growing up.
In a world where love isn’t always easy, and the truth is harder to face than lies, can they find their way to happiness?
Wow, I’m really enjoying this story so far! The chemistry between the characters is amazing and so confusing, and I’m really curious to see where this goes next. I love how the plot is unfolding, and it’s clear that there’s a lot more to explore, especially with the LGBTQ+ themes. The way Alex and Clara's relationship is developing has me hooked, and I can’t wait to see what kind of LGBTQ+ activities and dynamics will come up. It’s nice to see the characters growing and becoming more open with each other. I have a feeling things are going to get even more intense and emotional from here, and I’m excited for every chapter! Keep up the great work, doodlejinxx. You’ve got a really engaging story here, and I’m wishing you all the best as you continue to share it with the world!
I’m honestly loving how 'Between Waves and Hearts' doesn’t follow the typical romance formula. There’s something really raw and ‘tweaky’ about it that makes it stand out. The way Alex and Clara’s relationship is evolving feels so real—like, it’s messy but in the best way. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, and I really appreciate that. The little awkward moments, the internal struggles, the tension between them—it all feels like something that could happen in real life. The dialogue, especially, feels so natural and unpolished at times, which makes the characters feel so much more authentic. I love the pacing too, how it doesn’t rush things and just lets everything unfold in its own time. It’s refreshing to see a story that’s not afraid to be imperfect. Can’t wait to see where this goes! Keep it up!"
Writing this story has been such a journey for me, and I’m so proud of how far it’s come. 💙 Alex and Clara are my heart in words, and I hope you can feel their struggles and growth like I do. There are moments that make me laugh and moments that make me think deeply—just like life. The way the story evolves is everything I wanted it to be, and I can’t wait for you to see where it goes. I’m so thankful for everyone who’s been with me on this ride so far. 😔 There’s still a lot ahead, and I hope you’ll keep coming along for the emotional rollercoaster with me. Thank you for reading and supporting!
The writing is smooth, with good emotional depth, though some parts could be more refined. A slow-burn romance that gradually explores character relationships and emotions. The main characters are well-developed, but some side characters need more depth. The college setting is realistic but could use more immersive details. A heartfelt BL romance with strong emotional moments. Worth checking out for fans of slow-burn relationships!
