With From Friends to Forever nearing its final episodes, I’m thrilled to announce the next series coming to Brookelynite Daily: When Love Just Happens.
If you’ve read The Energy Series, then you’re already familiar with Juliette and Clarke’s friend, Esme. She’s the one who couldn’t stop venting to Clarke in When Life Gives You Sunsets about tutoring a difficult child with an undeniably fine father. Well, now it’s time for her story!
In this new series, we dive deep into the life of Esme Bennett—a dedicated teacher whose heart gets tangled up in ways she never imagined. Despite all her efforts to avoid drama, the heart wants what the heart wants, and Esme’s heart has found its match! And yes, you can expect some fun updates from Clarke and Juliette along the way.
I’m so excited for you to join Esme on this journey. Check out the synopsis below and get ready to fall in love with these characters:
