Becoming Lia

Who would you be if the world wasn’t telling you who you should be?

After getting fired and blowing up her already rocky relationship with her father, Amelia Thompson buys a one-way ticket to surprise her boyfriend across the country - only to find out she’s just become another rom-com trope. So she finds herself in a city she’s never been to, with no family or friends, no job, and no home. Her whole life has been about putting everyone else and their needs ahead of her own.

But now Amelia has the opportunity to change things. Who is she when she’s not picking up the pieces of other people’s problems? Who is she without the dead-end job she hated? What does she want when she doesn’t have to ask what she should be doing?  
 

This is not a love story.

This is a story about friendship. About community and connection. About making mistakes and learning to trust yourself again - or maybe, for the first time. This is a story about the messiness and awe of life. This is not a love story - or maybe, it is.
