GENRE: Enemies-to-lovers | Slow burn | Found family | Madeleine Kennedy just moved from New York to Los Angelas to pursue her modeling career. Madeleine Kennedy has three rules: 1. Don't get too close. 2. Don't let them see you care. 3. And never- ever- speak to Chris Sturniolo unless absolutely necessary. Too bad life (and her best friend Kara) has other plans. What starts as a quick gig helping her best friend's favorite YouTubers with their content turns into something way more complicated- especially when she finds herself tangled in a chaotic routine of filming days, inside jokes, and late-night hangouts with Matt and Nick Sturniolo... and their emotionally allergic, loud-mouthed triplet, Chris. He's irritating. Competitive. Flirtatiously rude. And maybe- just maybe- not as shallow as he pretends to be. She's guarded. Sarcastic. Impossible to read. And probably the only person who's ever told him exactly what she thinks. They hate each other. They're stuck with each other. And if they're not careful... they might just fall for each other, too.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ ʚ📚ɞ ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆ Genre: Teen Romance | opposites attract | Slow Burn Emma Barker has one goal for senior year: stay invisible, graduate top of her class, and get out. No parties. No distractions. Definitely no boys. But her perfectly controlled world flips when she's forced to tutor Chris Sturniolo who is loud, lazy, wildly popular, and exactly the kind of guy she's avoided her entire life. Chris is used to being liked. He's charming. Athletic. Girls fall for him without trying. But Emma? Emma rolls her eyes. Corrects his grammar. Barely even looks at him. Which would be fine... if he wasn't starting to look at her a little too much. Thrown together in late-night study sessions and awkward family dinners, two opposites begin to uncover the layers they've both hidden from the world. She's not just the smart girl. He's not just the jock. And the line between hate and something more gets harder to define with every glance, every touch, every almost. She was supposed to be his tutor. He might be the first person to actually see her

GENRE: best friends to lovers | slow- burn | Lyla Avery has lived in the sun-drenched chaos of Los Angeles long enough to know two things: iced coffee fixes most problems, and falling in love with your best friend is a terrible idea.

Their friendship is flirty, chaotic, and undeniably close like really close enough to make everyone around them wonder if there's something deeper behind the stolen glances and late-night rooftop talks. As feelings grow louder and tension grows thicker, Lyla's left asking the one question she's never dared to ask before: What if we've been in love this whole time and just didn't know it? ✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
