She thought she knew what love was. At eleven, Evelyn Blackwood arrives at Hogwarts with no idea where she belongs. A Muggle-born Slytherin who never quite understood why the colour of her robes mattered so much to everyone else. Her best friend was a Gryffindor. He was a Gryffindor. And for five years, she would make the mistake of believing that loving him meant waiting for him to choose her.

But sometimes the person you spend years wanting isn't the person you're meant to end up with. Sometimes you have to stop looking at the boy you've always loved to finally notice the boy who's been looking at you. This is not a story about first love. It's a story about realizing that sometimes, first love is simply the love that teaches you what love isn't.

When a woman is stuck in between two beautiful ladies, how will she know which one to choose? Especially if she doesn't date...

Description "The Secrets She Carries" Gia Bell has spent years mastering the art of pretending. Pretending the constant questions don't bother her. Pretending the reminders don't exhaust her. Pretending she doesn't hate being known as "the diabetic girl" instead of simply being Gia. Everyone knows she has Type 1 diabetes. They know about the insulin pump, the emergency snacks, the appointments, and the precautions. They know what she lives with, but they don't know what it feels like. Nobody knows about the nights she struggles alone. Nobody knows the pressure she carries to always be strong. Nobody knows how badly she wants someone to see the person behind the diagnosis. When Gia's world begins to change, she finds herself surrounded by people who are carrying secrets of their own. Baylee, Alba, Sienna, Avi, AJ, Sabina, Atlas, Adrian, Nikhil, and Kaia all have battles they keep hidden beneath their smiles. And then there's Kade Allan. Kaia's older brother. The person who has known Gia for years. The person who notices the things everyone else misses; the moments when her smile fades, when she goes quiet, and when she's pretending she's okay. But being seen is terrifying when you've spent so long convincing everyone you're fine. As friendships shift, relationships become complicated, and old wounds begin to surface, Gia must decide whether letting people in is worth the risk of being hurt. Because sometimes the hardest secret to admit isn't what you've been hiding from everyone else. It's admitting that you were never meant to carry everything alone.

Kate is a girl with family issues which lead to her having a severe depression to the point where she thinks that taking her own life is the only way to end her misery. However, when the school year starts she meets Jake, a boy which makes her believe that there might be an exit to this pain which doesn't include ending her life.

Estelle thought she could escape this life forever. The poker table. The danger. The shared cigarettes with her favourite boy. The gaze those ocean eyes used to fix themselves on her like she was prey. But to Noah... she meant far more than that. She saw her little life as perfect for a while. She loved those flowers filled routines and those warm meals she used to cook for her husband, Theodore. Or at least she tried to convince herself she would. But despite all this security, peace could never last in a village haunted by unsolved crimes, buried bodies and loud memories that refuse to stay dead. The thrill still lingers deep in her soul, despite those nine years that passed. When Noah comes back into her life, she suddenly finds herself yearning for everything she once lived. But ran away out of pure fear... But is there truly any way to go back now? The line between love and betrayal becomes extremely thin. Memories cling to souls that seemed cured. And Estelle gets proven that once you recover from a disease, it doesn't make you immune to it. Because love shouldn't feel like an easy task everyone could complete. Especially not at the poker table. Love should burn a little. Just like crime always did.
