Timeline: Love, Gossip, and the Power of Your Own Voice

Kirah is twenty-five working at the local grocery store and trying to bounce back after catching her cheating ex, Tony, red-handed. She swears she's done with love-until a new man walks into her life and flips everything upside down. He's charming, consistent, and the kind of man who could actually win her heart...if she's brave enough to let him.

With her ghetto best friend Tonia by her side, Kirah is caught between the comfort of her old habits, the thrill of new love, and the drama that comes when social media puts your personal life on blast. Screenshots get shared, gossip spreads like wildfire, and suddenly, everyone-friends, family, even strangers online-has something to say about her choices.

Raw, sexy, and unapologetically real, Timeline is about love after heartbreak, friendship that keeps it 100, and the messy-but-funny chaos of dating in the age of social media. It's for every twenty-something who's ever juggled breakups, makeups, and public opinion while trying to figure out what happiness really looks like.

Can Kirah block out the noise, follow her heart, and choose love on her own terms-or will the timeline decide for her?
