After a brutal act of police brutality, the most important figure in Kendra Lyon's life is ripped away from her. Consumed by grief Kendra has channeled all of her anger towards her peers not trusting those who don't look like her. She's built up a strong wall of emotions against them in order to protect herself that no one can seem to tear down. That is until she meets the one boy who could possibly see her beyond her rage. He's willing to endure her smart remarks and sassy attitude just to catch a glimpse of the real Kendra Lyon. Kendra vows to never fall for him because after all he's just another white boy and to her, that's an insult to her father's memory.

Jade Harris needs money for college. Nolan Chambers needs a ticket out of Bellcreek. The unlikely pair come together to fool their classmates into thinking they're a love sick couple to obtain the grand prize for prom king and queen-a college scholarship and a trip to Europe. It'd be easy if everyone didn't think Jade cheated on her ex. It'd be even easier if Nolan wasn't an unbearable grump. Regardless of the odds being against them they don't give up, desperate to win the prize. Or maybe there's something else keeping them from throwing in the towel...

❝A struggle with body image is a study of physicalities and of the mind itself, for the mind plays with what the eyes perceive.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. - Anthony J. D'Angelo Life has never been easy or simple for Ellie. She was born deformed, the outcast of her pack, abused and shunned. She spends her life running from the negativity and the darkness, trying to find her happiness. All she wants is peace and joy, but what is she supposed to do when rejection, sorrow and frustration is all she ever seems to be capable of finding? Maybe not everyone deserves to be happy, but where did she go wrong? What could she have possibly done to deserve such torture? This story is only half edited and kind of a mess in my opinion! There will be plot-holes and mistakes! If you see any feel free to point them out and I'll fix it up during editing. This was my first ever story so it needs some help lol Just a few of my favorite comments: Loved it? It turned into my life!!! Ellie's stab made me feel pain in my chest as well. You weren't kidding when you said the story wasn't that predictable. Honestly, whenever a new twist came, I'd say it was familiar(because the sudden situation Ellie would find herself into is) but it still caught me very much off guard nonetheless. You had a knack for making me invested in one paragraph therefore surprising me in the next. I loved that. the thrill, the suspense, the shock and pain. And because you made it first person pov, the reader could relate or maybe even see themselves in Ellie's life. I am looking forward for the sequel. I'm proud to say i read this book and was here before it became 1M+ reads. 100/10 score👏 you[author] deserve it. This needs to be read by many. - @JRDRRS WHAT. A. PLOT. TWIST. fricken genius - @xsapphira 😭😭😭8 literally cried and sobbed I don't think I have ever done that before in a book its always just silent tears...... This book is truly amazing - @daedalian9 You sure know how to keep someone hooked. It was a crazy ride.- @Inumidun700

🌟 Now traditionally published 🌟 "We're all going to leave this world one day; I want to leave with an epic story." True to her words - resident bad-girl, Zoey Brightwell attracts the attention of newcomer, Zachary Gomer. Vowing to recreate himself to raise himself up on the social hierarchy - Zach is brought back down to Earth as he becomes infatuated with his unusual neighbor. Zoey helps Zach realize there is more to life than seeking acceptance, and that each person should be inspired by their own unique individuality. Despite constant warnings, Zach cannot help but be lured in by Zoey's enigmatic persona. Zach and Zoey find themselves on a rollercoaster journey - not only a journey of romance, but a journey of self-discovery. We all love a good cliché; however, a cliché has gained the reputation of being unoriginal and predictable. Everyone loves the classic bad boy meets good girl love saga; but the overuse of the story has become extremely undesired. Shooting Star gives this classic tale a modern twist - tackling issues that may often be overlooked or ignored. ✨

Mia Perkins life is a wreck. Her friends aren't speaking to her, her dad and his new wife are having a baby and she's positive her mom hates her. Then there's Calvin Benton, her new neighbor who is a little too honest for her liking. But maybe honesty is just what she needs. *** This is an unedited first draft and my first book, so it's kind of terrible.

When she comes to school sick and sneezes on the notorious 'bad girl', Avery's attempts at being a wallflower backfire. *Disclaimer: This book was written and completed before the coronavirus pandemic. The author does not endorse sneezing on people. *
