𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐒 - The world has always been a bit too much for Tessa Biggs, she never felt like she quite fit in. Being the only daughter of a well known doctor and a famous writer her life was always been seen as easy, but in reality it's anything but that. At a young age she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her parents knew it was coming since it ran in the family. Her childhood was filled with appointments, pills and therapy. She feels as though her whole life is a disaster. But then she meets him, the person she was told to stay away from and avoid. Will she break the rules for love? 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐖 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 - Drew is the kind of guy most people notice for the wrong reasons. The son of well known drug dealer "Shane Holland", he grew up in the shadow of his father but when he was sentenced to prison that legacy was thrown onto his shoulders. Most of the time, he's skipping classes or getting into fights. Most people have given up on him. Drew has always been excellent at rugby, it's the one thing he's ever been good at his whole life. When he gets scouted for a scholarship at Tommen college, he knows he should say no but deep down he secretly wants to do well in life so he accepts it. His father is furious with him and his whole life seems to be going downhill until his first day. Everything shifts when she walks into his life. Will they survive the bumps along the way- or be destroyed by them?

Tadhg lynch doesn't do feelings. He does trouble. Charm. And saying exactly the wrong thing at the right time. Sixteen, mouthy, and impossible to handle, Tadhg is the kind of boy teachers warn you about- and girls don't listen. Then there's Bethany Gibson. She talks too much. Laughs too loud. Acts like nothing in her life has ever gone wrong. He doesn't believe it. And for some reason, he can't leave her alone. What starts as messing with her turns into something else- something a lot harder to ignore. Because Bethany's hiding something. And Tadhg's starting to look a little too closely.

Tadhg Lynch doesn't talk about the pain. Not the funeral. Not the silence at home. Not the way it feels to smile when everything inside is falling apart. He hides it behind noise-laughter, chaos, charm that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Until she shows up. Leah Daly is new to Tommen and not interested in making friends. Especially not loud-mouthed rugby boys with too many secrets and a habit of making everything a joke. But when their worlds collide-one quiet moment at a time-she begins to see the cracks he tries to cover. And he starts to realize she might be the only one who understands what it's like to hurt in silence. He pushes. She pushes back. Neither of them expected to fall. Enemies to lovers. Hurt/comfort. One loud boy and one girl who sees right through him. He's grief in motion. She's the calm after the storm. Together, they're impossible to ignore.

Tadgh Lynch is angry, angry at the world. It seems the rest of his siblings have forgotten the hurt of their past, let it go. But he can't forget, his father haunts him, has been haunting him for years and he's losing hope that he'll ever be free of Teddy Lynch. Maeve Holland is desperatly searching for the will to live. Her older brother hates her, her mothers dead, her dads as good as dead and life isn't looking like it's going to get better any time soon, but then she meets him. An angry boy who changes everything.

Beth Gibson has always been the girl who laughs the loudest, smiles the brightest, and pretends she's got it all figured out. Captain of the girls' hockey team and everyone's go-to best friend, she knows how to play the part. But beneath the easy grin and wild blonde curls, she's tired of always wanting more than she's allowed to have. Finn Lockwood - the sharp-tongued, magnetic new captain of the boys' team - was supposed to be a distraction. A mistake she could leave behind. But their hot-and-cold pull has her caught in the middle of something she can't control, no matter how many times she swears she's done with him. And then there's Conor Kavanagh. Her best friend's older brother. The boy she's loved quietly for as long as she can remember - the one who was never supposed to notice her back. Except now, things feel different. Three hearts. Two teams. One messy tangle of secrets, longing, and choices that could break more than just the rules.

Sixteen-year-old Isla Feely has always been the good one - the girl who listens, studies, smiles when she's supposed to, and never gives her parents reason to worry. Sixteen-year-old Jamie Biggs is the opposite - London transfer, rugby boy with a brain full of chemistry equations and a heart full of everyone else's problems. He's the one who fixes things. She's the one who makes people feel safe. When Isla and Jamie's worlds collide at Tommen College, what starts as shared study sessions and shy glances turns into something neither of them saw coming - first love, pure and bright and terrifyingly real. But the summer brings cracks neither of them are ready for. A party in L.A. changes everything, and Isla comes home carrying a secret she can't tell anyone. Not her parents. Not her brother. Not even Jamie. As she spirals further into silence, Jamie's left trying to hold on to the girl he loves while his own family battles to stay afloat. Set in the heart of Cork, Isla & Jamie is a story about first love and first heartbreak, about what happens when the world stops feeling safe - and the courage it takes to start breathing again. Tender, devastating, and full of hope, it's a portrait of two teenagers learning that love doesn't fix you - but it might just help you survive long enough to find yourself again.
