Guppy Falls
It’s August 2013, and college is on the horizon for Alfie Taylor. Still reeling after a devastating breakup, the only thing on his mind is relaxing and continuing to rekindle his estranged friendship with Elena. To cap off their summer, his buddy Donald proposes a trip to Guppy Falls, an infamously dangerous theme park that’s been nicknamed ‘Yuppie Falls’ by those that have survived it.
But when his bewitching new neighbor Maddie enters the fray and a long-gestating secret between him and Elena threatens to end their relationship for good, all bets are off. Now, Alfie will have to stumble his way through the perils of friendship and love in time for the trip-or risk losing Elena forever.
Cherry Cove – A Guppy Falls Story
Before there was Alfie and Elena, there was Richie. Set in 1987,Cherry Grove tells the tale of Alfie’s father and his trip to the infamous Guppy Falls with his girlfriend Cherry, his best friend Mac, and Tiff. Their goal? Have the best day of their lives. The problem? It might be their final one together if Richie can’t bury his machismo for long enough to think about his future.
Cherry Grove is a free one-shot prequel to the 2023 coming of age/friends to lovers story Guppy Falls. Set 26 years before his son’s own journey to Guppy Falls, it shows us that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
