The Wild and Beyond

Charlie and Marcus are twins, but they can’t stand each other. In my debut Young Adult Novel, you will follow the Tucci twins as they have to work together and figure out how exactly they ended up as enemies when they used to be best friends.

One Tree Hill meets Heartstopper

Charlie and Marcus Tucci are twins, but they can't stand each other.

Charlie loves reading, watching zombie movies, and eating greasy pizza. Marcus thrives in the spotlight as the school’s swimming star and cringes at his sister’s “weirdness.” They don’t talk, they don’t hang out, and they certainly don’t team up…

Until heartbreak—and the worst guy you’ve ever met—threatens to ruin everything.

Forced to work together, they might just discover they have more in common than they thought. And, as it turns out, they won’t face this fight alone.

Nothing is off the table in this coming-of-age novel about estranged twins, a group of misfits trying to make a zine, broken friendships, and a bittersweet romance that will catch you by surprise.

What is this all about?

They are twins, but they also hate each other.

In The Wild and Beyond, not everything is what it seems, and you have to fight to stand up for who you really are.
