ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Playing For Keeps" by R.L. Mathewson, explores the evolving relationship between neighbors Haley and Jason, from initial dislike to a complex mix of friendship, intimacy, and love. Haley, shy and reserved, finds her life disrupted by Jason's boisterous presence and infuriating actions. Despite her attempts to avoid conflict, she's drawn into a close bond with him, which confuses her and everyone around them. As they spend more time together, their relationship becomes increasingly intimate, sharing a bed and engaging in deep conversations. Jason, initially driven by a desire to protect Haley, develops a strong possessiveness, struggling to understand his own feelings. The story delves into their personal insecurities and the dynamics of their families, highlighting the stark contrast between Haley's warmth and her family's judgmental nature. Their relationship is further complicated by Haley's family's disapproval and Jason's inability to understand his feelings. The narrative also presents themes of personal growth, overcoming shyness and realizing one's worth.
