Bubblegum & Butterflies
Sometimes, the greatest loves are born from accidents and end in farewells.
Charlize van der Merwe has a perfect life—at least, that's what everyone sees. She's popular, beautiful, and the golden girl of her small South African town but behind the polished smiles lies the constant pressure to maintain her flawless image.
Daniel McCarthy, on the other hand, is everything Charlize isn’t: reckless, rebellious, and unapologetically flawed. He spends his days pulling daring tricks at the skate park and dodging the rumours that swirl around his troubled reputation.
When Daniel’s show-off stunt outside their school goes wrong, it leaves Charlize with a broken arm—and his bubblegum tangled in her hair. The humiliation sparks instant animosity between them, but fate isn’t done with them yet.
Assigned to help Charlize catch up on schoolwork as punishment, Daniel becomes an unexpected fixture in her life. What begins as a battle of wills slowly softens into something neither of them expected. Charlize discovers Daniel’s struggles with an absent father and a life far more complicated than his bad-boy image suggests. Daniel uncovers Charlize’s hidden dreams of photography and the cracks in her perfect facade.
As their connection deepens, so does their happiness—but the clock is ticking. Charlize’s family is moving to Australia at the end of the year, and no amount of first love magic can stop time.
Told with heart and bittersweet emotion, Bubblegum and Butterflies is a story of unlikely love, self-discovery, and the beauty of letting go. Will Charlize and Daniel find a way to hold on, or will they have to say goodbye to a love they never expected to find?
Perfect for fans of heartfelt young adult romances, this story captures the rush of first love and the ache of growing up.
