-NOT WRITTEN IN HINDI, ANYONE CAN READ- Aru Shah doesn't expect to get cast as Juliet as soon as she tries out for the role in her College Drama class. But she's ready to give it her all...um...does that include the kiss scene, though? Aiden Acharya, photography major, needs extra credit for a project because he missed a term for his mother's arm injury. Luckily, the drama class offers extra credit- and he's signed up for the photographer. Win-win, right? Until Aiden, one day, rehearses with Aru, Aiden as Romeo. Ms. Kandal decides to cast him- replacing a jealous guy named Dhruv- and sparks a friendship between the 2 leads. But as they rehearse, they see the lines between acting and reality start to blur...

Once, Ashton Jacob Halstead was the one being taken home - the younger brother Jay and Will refused to leave behind, the boy they pulled out of an abusive home and loved until he finally believed he was safe. Now he's grown, married to Maya Adelyn Halstead, and raising children of his own in the kind of home he used to dream about. A home built on love, patience, and choice. But fatherhood is not always easy when you were never shown what a real father should be, and some days the weight of it all presses against old wounds in ways Ashton never expects. Through every hard moment, every quiet fear, and every doubt he tries to carry alone, Jay and Will are still there. So is his mom. So is Rylan, still his best friend and still one of the steadiest parts of Ashton's life. Because growing up never meant he stopped needing the people who saved him - and home never stopped being the people who refused to let him go.

*All characters within this book belong to Roshni Chokshi* Aiden Acharya likes things neat, predictable, and quiet. Aru Shah is none of those things. She's loud, chaotic, and has a habit of barging straight through the emotional walls Aiden carefully built after his parents' messy divorce. While Aiden believes silence is safety, Aru believes life should be lived loudly-and she's determined to prove that happiness isn't something to be afraid of. Somewhere between her chaos and his careful world, Aiden starts to realize something terrifying: He might actually be falling in love. -BookFan33 & Oabiiss_flamboyant

They don't find him broken. They find him trained to survive. Fourteen years old, still living under Pat's roof-where love is conditional, apologies don't exist, and fear is the rule. Jay and Will see it the second they walk in: the careful posture, the guarded eyes, the way their little brother tries to make himself smaller. So they take him. But safety doesn't feel safe to someone who's never had it. Now they're navigating teen years with a boy who's carrying too much-nightmares, anger, shame, and a past that won't stay quiet. And Pat keeps trying to force his way back into their lives, drunk and demanding, like blood gives him the right. Jay and Will will prove him wrong-one hard day at a time.

Yamini Kapoor-or, as her classmates call her, "Topper Mini- is a huge outcast at her school. No school friends, focused on studying, and no fun outings either. Just. Studies.

Rudra Sarpa-nicknamed "Rudy" by the school- is the most popular guy in college. His family situation sparks him to long to explore the world, hence this trip. When he meets Mini on the train, their friendship doesn't really take off- Mini's boring. Will these 2 evolve? Dunno. Guess you gotta read to find out :)

Aru just came out with her latest album, the majority breakup and love songs she'd written during and after her most recent relationship, which the media seemed to be having a field day on speculating why they'd broken up. Nobody seems to judge her based on who she is. All she was to the world was another rich and famous singer/songwriter. But Aru runs into a particular someone who chooses to look past all her scars and her fame, and she finds the one person who gets where she's coming from. What starts out as something that isn't as fake as they think it is or will be turns into what couldn't be more real. Will they be able to tolerate what others couldn't together?

Opposites in every way, with only one similarity: their fiery personalities. When lightning strikes fire, will the result be a world completely burnt or a beautiful phenomena? Aru Shah has only just restarted her life, but things collapse faster than you can say 'love.' When Aiden Acharya blows into her life, she can either continue struggling against the hurricane, trying to recollect her life, or give in and be swept away.

Katrina (KC) and Jerome (Curly) may look like ordinary teens... okay they are. BUT they are super cool agents that save the day, the country and maybe even the world. Two butt kicking teens balancing secret agent life and teen life. What could go wrong?
