THE JOURNAL

Tucked inside Carried Away is a secret bonus: Cole’s Journal, brought to life through QR codes scattered throughout the book. Each code unlocks pages from the protagonist’s personal journal—sketches, Polaroids, scribbles, and raw reflections that expand the story world. It’s an intimate, behind-the-scenes layer of the novel, designed to blur the line between fiction and reality and pull you even deeper into the journey. Sample below:

A journal or travel notebook with handwritten notes, sketches, and photographs. The sketches include a woman lying on a bed, a fish with a spear, and a sea scene. The photographs show a woman in a swimsuit at the beach, a coconut on a palm tree, and a sandy shoreline with trees.
