We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Cynthia thought she was done with love the day Marcus walked out-without a word, without a goodbye. Years later, she's built a life she controls: her own indie coffee shop, a peaceful routine, and walls no one ever breaches. Then Marcus shows up. ...with her old college best friend Julie on his arm. And that's just the beginning. Because Luke-Cynthia's first almost-love, her once-safe place-is now dating the woman Marcus left her for. Vanessa. Everyone's moved on. Everyone... except her. When old sparks flare and buried secrets rise, Cynthia must choose: closure... or a second chance at the love she never forgot. Four hearts, two betrayals, and one question: can love survive what time tried to erase?

She'd die for love. He didn't believe in love. *** From reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, to watching 10 Things I Hate About You, to listening to You are in Love by Taylor Swift, Emily Kingsley's life is a sum of moments she has spent after romance. Watching, reading, listening or daydreaming, romance has never failed to comfort this high school junior of 17 years of age. She has her own issues: self-sabotage, lack of focus in studying, randomly popping up acne and not loving the way she looked. But she could forget all that as long as she is reading about two people falling in love and finding their happily ever after. Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school. According to Emily, Landon is handsome, sophisticated, well-spoken and unlike any of the immature boys of her class who didn't get her at all. Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance. At the same time, her seatmate in chemistry, the rumored delinquent, grumpy asshole Nathan Callahan, makes fun of her romantic dreams. Can Emily ever find true love? Completed. A fun romcom that will make you scream and squeal and blush!

When You Happened Two flats. Four hearts. One hallway where everything changes. Miriyam moves in for work, not love, but Adam with his quiet eyes and rainy-day silences proves impossible to ignore. Polite friendship slowly becomes rooftop talks, shared umbrellas, and unspoken feelings. Aaradhya and Ryan never exactly got along. Their clashing attitudes and sharp banter hiding something deeper. But fate, unpredictable and a little mischievous, has other plans. Two neighboring doors. Two stories of love, laughter, and late-night confessions. When You Happened is a gentle celebration of friendship turning into love, and love kept quietly, fiercely, and all at once.

I've been broken for so long that I stopped believing I could be whole. No one wants to love a man who can't even stand on his own two feet. I've heard it all before. "It's not you, it's just... this." "We can't do normal things." "You deserve someone who can handle this." Bullshit. What they meant was, I wasn't enough. Then she crashed into my life - reckless, stubborn, impossible, and made it her mission to prove me wrong. I'm drowning, and for some godforsaken reason, she won't stop pulling me back to the surface. But love doesn't fix broken things. And if I let myself believe she'll stay, I might not survive when she realizes I'm too much to handle.
