When Ben arrives in Calabria with his family, he's ready for one more summer in the heat, just like all the ones before. But everything changes when Adam shows up at his doorstep - and when a forgotten photo brings back memories neither of them expected. Adam is charming, curious, and kind - everything Ben never was. Ben also meets Cara, Adam's younger sister, and the apple of their parents' eye... probably because they've gone blind to all the chaos she causes. One summer, when they were kids, Adam wished he were Ben. But what happens when Ben finds himself wishing Adam would never leave his side, instead? [SHORT CHAPTERS]

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories

Michael Lee never planned on starting a book club. He barely talks to people, prefers fictional characters over real ones and is perfectly happy with his cat and avoiding feelings. But one overbearing aunt and a lapse in judgment later, Mickey suddenly finds himself hosting monthly book club meetings. He expected awkward silences and polite debates. Instead, he got chaos, hot messes and the terrifying possibility of actually caring. And then there's Seth Valdés. College athlete. Unreasonably nice and way too pretty. Now sitting on Mickey's couch like it's the most normal thing in the world. What started as a "stupid little book club" turns out to be the beginning of some pretty chaotic friendships and maybe, just maybe, some silly little feelings that look a lot like love. ~ A queer romance that contains mature content.

Plot: Li Wei, a battle-hardened survivor from the apocalypse, suddenly wakes up in the body of Lu Xuan, a delicate high school boy engaged to the school's most popular guy, Jiang Yuze. However, instead of worrying about romance, love, or school politics, Li Wei only cares about one thing-FOOD. At first, Jiang Yuze is relieved-his fiancé isn't clingy or annoying. But then he realizes something even more frustrating: Lu Xuan ignores him completely! No blushing, no stammering, not even a single glance his way. Instead, Lu Xuan's eyes shine only when he sees a freshly baked cake or a steaming plate of dumplings. To make matters worse, Jiang Yuze's two rich best friends, Gu Yan and Zhao Chen, start to take an interest in Lu Xuan too. Gu Yan, the flirt, tries to seduce him-only to get ignored. But when he bribes Lu Xuan with snacks? Immediate success. Zhao Chen, the quiet genius, starts bringing expensive desserts every day. Now, Lu Xuan actually greets him in the mornings! Jiang Yuze, watching all of this, gets increasingly jealous-of food. One day, Gu Yan feeds Lu Xuan with his chopsticks, and Jiang Yuze snaps. He grabs Lu Xuan's wrist and declares: "If you want food, I'll cook for you! So stop looking at these two idiots!" Lu Xuan blinks. "You can cook?" Jiang Yuze, lying: "Yes." (Zhao Chen and Gu Yan, watching, smirk-this is going to be fun.) From then on, the school prince starts learning how to cook just to win his fiancé's attention. Meanwhile, Lu Xuan remains oblivious to all the romantic tension, happily enjoying the love battle disguised as a buffet.
