Shiny Disasters - Mico Veman

Kayla wants to be seen.

As an aspiring influencer, Kayla makes bold choices meant to move her closer to attention, relevance, and success. Some of them pay off. Many of them don't. Someone else always handles the consequences.

Gary, her husband, is the quiet constant behind the scenes. He pays for the risks, fixes the fallout, and keeps her afloat while she chases the next opportunity. The more she relies on him, the more she resents him for it.

As Kayla's pursuit of visibility begins to work, the cost of her ambition becomes harder to ignore.

Shiny Disasters is a dark, contemporary novella about attention, entitlement, and the unseen price of turning your life into content.
