"doesn't feel bearable
guess i thought, when i left,
it would all stop"

LINDSEY HARRIS is an australian youtuber that moved to london with her best friend and fellow youtuber, alice murphy. they had lived in sydney their entire lives, and they always dreamed of living in europe. so, once they saved up enough money, they packed their lives up and relocated. they found a flat and two roomates, and that was that. 

the two of them filmed their videos and made some new friends along the way, as well as getting closer with their old friends that they had met at events and through social media. with all of their connections, it was hard not to get wrapped up in the realm of uk youtubers. 

GEORGE had lived his life alone. he had never once had a girlfriend, and he had never really felt the need for one. he dabbled in some dating apps, but that was usually where it ended. he wasn't the best at talking to girls, and he didn't really enjoy it either.

but then a girl comes along that makes it all seem easy. she makes him laugh more than anyone he had ever met, and she brings out the best version of him. she was like coming up for a breath of fresh air after being underwater for ages. 

LINDSEY had spent her life experiencing. she wanted to do anything and everything that she could before she died. she ran marathons in the pouring rain and went ziplining across mountains. she was practically fearless, and she wanted to have the most fun that she possibly could during her time on the planet. she was always off doing something crazy, which did not leave much time for relationships and  romance. 

lindsey only planned to live in london for a few years at most, wanting to fulfill her dreams of traveling the world, but as she comes especially close with one person, she realizes that she might have a reason to stay.

PLEASE READ

this book is part of a group of my books, and they should match up fairly well with timeline and everything. the other books are published now. (WHAT A SHAME - harry lewis, LOVESONG - arthurtv, and SO IT GOES - willne)

i am not british or australian. i am american, so please forgive me for anything i get wrong. i have very little knowledge about the geography, culture, speaking, etc. of the uk, so keep that in mind while reading. i am going to try my hardest, and feel free to KINDLY correct me on anything. 

just a reminder that this is based on how i think george and the others would act. we don't know how they act off camera, so keep that in mind. also, i do not and will not write smut, especially for a real person. i think that it is disrespectful to everyone involved, so please don't ask for it!!

if you have any tips or things i need to know about australian and/or uk culture, slang, and more, please let me know <3.

also, if the timelines don't match up with the videos and everything, shut up. i'm bending reality to fit the fic, and if that bothers you, don't read it. 

TRIGGER WARNINGS

please know that this story contains excessive drinking, violence, abuse, language, suggestive jokes, and other things included in the videos of mentioned youtubers. please just read at your own risk!! 

AUTHOR'S NOTE!

welcome to the story! it's embarrassing how long i spent on this introduction, and it's still kind of crappy. the rest of this is going to be hell to write, but it will hopefully be worth it! please, please, please vote and comment. i appreciate it soooo much!!
