Have you ever felt outside the norm? Different? Unusual? Weird? Have you ever
been bullied? Teased? Have you ever felt alone? Secluded? Peregrine Storke
knows the feeling, that incredibly lonely feeling. It's like standing at a
window, your palm against the glass, your gaze watching people be things you
never thought you could be. But that's about to change .... Releasing this
weekend is The Story of Awkward. This is a YA/NA romance for anyone who's ever
wanted to believe in fairytales, who's ever wanted to be a part of a fairytale,
but who always felt too awkward to fill the role.

The Story of Awkward by R.K. Ryals Cover Design by Regina Wamba of Mae I Design
Synopsis: If you are looking for a happy book about beautiful people, this is
the wrong story. If you are looking for a narrative without emotion, without
regrets, and without mistakes, this is definitely the wrong story. This is by
no means an uncomplicated tale about uncomplicated people. It is by no means
sweet or light. This story is ugly. This story is complicated. This story is
emotional. This story is tragic. In short, this story is about being awkward.
Peregrine Storke is an artist with an odd sketchbook full of pictures she’s
drawn since she was a child. It is a book full of strange sketches and awkward
characters, for there is no better way to hide from bullying and life than to
create a world of your own. With a stroke of her pencil, she has given life to
a spectacled princess, a freckle-nosed king, a candy loving troll, a two-horned
unicorn, and a graceless fairy. At nineteen, Peregrine leaves her home, her
sketchbook, and awkwardness behind. But what happens when something goes wrong
in the world of Awkward? Trapped inside of her complex realm with the bully she
thought to leave behind, Peregrine discovers there is nothing worse than
falling for your own villain.
