By Brooke Riley - January 11, 2023


The time has come to introduce my new wip. 

I don't really have a full description for this book yet, so this entire post is going to be in aesthetics and lyrics. that's pretty on-brand for me, anyway.

What Runaways is about

Runaways is a story about friendship. It's about facing the pain of the past. Of looking forward to better days. Of losing people you love and dealing with the grief that comes with that. These characters are going to go on deeply emotional journeys and while the road to these journeys will be far from easy, they're also about healing. About overcoming pain and rising up above it. Something you'll notice about my books, no matter the genre or the story, is that my characters will keep rising. 

While this book is going to be nothing like my trilogy, this stand-alone summer road trip novel is about moving forward and rising up above the things that knock us down. 

I'm excited to share more when the time comes. 

For now, follow me on Instagram if you don't already. I'll be posting more frequent updates over there rather than here.

That is all for now, friend. I hope you enjoyed learning about my new wip!
