Something he can't figure out-which leads him to follow her to Elsie's Lake. What he finds will change his life forever. ❀ Dawn Gray Brooks knows how to keep secrets. She doesn't tell anyone anything. Not a word about how she can float away from her body and watch the world unfold. She doesn't tell anyone about her daily talks with Dad either. Why? Because he's dead. Dawn knows better than to explain about her voices... Until River comes along, and Dad's words start to disappear. This boy refuses to leave her alone, keeping her in the now, clinging to reality. But for how long? ❀ Forget me Lots tell the adventures of a watery boy that has fallen for a whirlwind girl. A heart-wrenching journey brimming with love and grief, family, and friendship.

"I've sat behind you my entire life." I mumbled, trying my best to hide my irritation. "Cool, Sally. So can I have a towel or not?" I'd known Jai Darling my entire life and he still couldn't get my name right. **** "The Darlings have lived next door my whole life. They kept a low profile, never leaving the house. None of them except their three boys, the boys that would soon ruin my entire life." Sienna Hall never questioned her rude neighbors next door. They had always just been in the background. That was until Sienna saw a stranger walk into the house as if it were his own. And she does the stupidest thing possible. She follows him. She couldn't have ever imagined what she would find behind the closed doors. Or who and what the Darling Boys really are.

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
