The author highlights how crippling self-doubt, low self-esteem, and a relentless inner spiral shape daily interactions, while Sophie pursues therapy and professional support. The narrative also addresses emotional abuse themes, with guidance for sensitive readers, and promises a romance fantasy with author liberties and a Happily Ever After ending.","KEEPING PACE  \nPIPER SHELDON  \nQUERQUE PRESS  \nOCEANOFPDF.COM  \nThis book is a work of fiction created from the dregs of this author ’s brain juice.

You don’t have to read that book before reading Pace’s story but be aware that there are minor spoilers included in this story.  \nHere’s where you can get Fall Shook Up.  \nA quick note: This book deals with extreme social anxiety as it exists ina debilitating nature. I know all too well that this can be hard to read sometimes, and though I try to handle Sophie’s mental health with tenderness (including reviews by sensitivity readers), I want to address the facts. Sophie is in therapy for her mental wellness. She has seen doctors for help. I wish that in the real world, a few mind-blowing orgasms by a hot firefighter were enough to cure crippling self-doubt and low self-esteem. Alas, that is not the world we live in, and not exactly what happens with Sophie. So be aware if you find this topic hard to read. At the end of the day, this book is a fantasy with a heavy dose of author liberties taken. And a big, fat Happily Ever After chock-full of hot firefighters and quirky characters.  \nThis love story is not going to reflect every single person’s experience with social anxiety. But I do hope that at least one person sees themselves in Sophie, and that the story offers some hope, comfort, and  \nunderstanding. So please, if nothing else, if you find yourself captive to the never-ending swirl of your thoughts like Sophie does, let this book give you the courage to understand that you don’t need to “fix yourself” in an effort to earn unconditional love.  \nThank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy Pace and Sophie’s lovestory.  \nXOXO,  \nPiper  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n1  \nPace  \nTHE EARLY-SEPTEMBER MORNING WAS COOL THIS HIGH UP IN COZY CREEK, Colorado, but the midday sun would keep it warm enough for a T-shirt later today.
