Blue Ink (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637303474)

I realized he was writing over the blue stains, now dry, with new words. Nothing that had been lost couldn't be created again.

Blue Ink follows Charlie, a reserved writer coping with the trauma of his childhood, and Levi, a wild partier struggling with loneliness, who meet on their college campus in the chaos of a thunderstorm. Levi makes it his mission to break down Charlie's walls and foster a deeper relationship. But just as Levi learns about the loss of Charlie's brother to addiction, and starts to realize his feelings for Charlie, he begins spiraling with his own drug use.

Incredibly dark, unapologetically raw, Blue Ink displays the humanity behind often-stigmatized topics like addiction, sexuality, and trauma. As they learn to navigate their personal challenges together, Charlie and Levi demonstrate the significance of sharing your emotions rather than suppressing them.
