Until she meets him. And he recognizes her.

As fantasy crashes into reality, Jules must confront the life she's been avoiding and the version of herself she only dared to imagine. Can the love she created in her mind survive between two very real, very different people?

Maladaptive is an emotionally rich magical realism romance about mental health, identity, self-worth, and the blurry line between imagination and reality.
