Time to Bloom packs an angsty, raw, and heartfelt punch about falling in love for the first time.
At nineteen, Larkin O’Ryan knows a few things for sure: art is her lifeline, her worn-out Chuck Taylors are practically sacred, and conforming is just another word for giving up. She’s not looking for love—especially not the watered-down kind. Unless Prince Charming shows up, she’d rather go it alone.
Then comes Wesley—green-eyed, mysterious, and dangerously magnetic. He doesn’t just catch her attention; he ignites something in her on fire. Suddenly, everything she thought she didn’t need feels impossible to live without.
But as the people she trusted begin to drift—her closest friendships cracking, her mother slipping further out of reach—Larkin’s carefully constructed world starts to splinter. And in the wreckage, she finds herself holding onto the one thing that feels real: him.
Her first love. Her last anchor.
Even if it’s the very thing that could pull her under.
