Mizumi & Innocence [BL Novel]

"Lake knows this is the kind of thing he should’ve experienced when he was like, thirteen or something, with a silly crush on some guy or girl, not his first actual love in his twenties..."

Mizumi and Innocence is a slow-burn, slice-of-life BL novel about two neurodivergent people who become each other's safe place, and figure out the rest from there — very, very slowly. 

This is a story for and by those of us who are still figuring out what we are and what 'desire' even means.

A story about...

• A disaster, touch-starved, demisexual protagonist figuring out desire for the first time.

• A mix of angst, romance, hurt/comfort and snarky comedy.

• What it's like to want someone when wanting is new and scary, and learning to be touched is even scarier...
• And about doing the hard work of getting better, while finding out that someone wants to be there for the boring, difficult, unglamorous parts of it all.
• Plush jellyfish named Jellomy and Jellofrey.
