THE STORY

Serenity Sinclair is seventeen and very good at disappearing inside the rules.

Black. Jamaican. Raised in a home where everything has a script. She knows her lines. She says them.

Then Coast Cortez shows up — a Puerto Rican, Dominican, athlete who's never once pretended the world is smaller than it is — and Serenity starts forgetting hers.

She Stayed Past Curfew is a sapphic coming-of-age story set in Miami about a girl learning to want something out loud for the very first time.

It's tender, slow-burning, and deeply honest about what it costs to love yourself when the people who raised you made that feel like a sin.
