Aria Matthews is in love with her best friend, Lucas Miller. It is the best kept secret since Area 51 and she knows she would take it to the grave. But things start changing in her senior year of high school when another of her friends takes it upon herself to set Aria up with the captain of the football team, who, incredibly, seems to be interested in her as well. And she doesn't understand why Lucas suddenly grows a stick up his butt about the whole dating deal.

Wendy is the final girl. Surviving is what she does. ***** Following the tragic Incident that claimed the lives of all her friends, Wendy Collier only has her status as a Final Girl to give her some sense of self--it tells her how to behave, how to feel, how to think. When nothing else helps, the only solution is to move to Alaska to stay with her estranged brother, who had his own reasons to exile himself, and they both know there are sacrifices they have to make for each other. Underneath the resentment, there's hurt. However, Wendy has been fighting for a long time, fighting for survival, fighting for meaning, fighting for closure, and this will not be yet another thing that's ripped away from her. No matter what she has to do. [[2X WATTPAD FEATURED STORY]] [[WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST]] © 2022 caterina george // all rights reserved

In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. ***** 2025 AMBYS GRAND FAVORITE | contemporary 2025 ASTANIA AWARDS FIRST PLACE WINNER | wild card » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit @SocialThemes and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii
