If there's one thing studious Jack didn't picture his senior year including, it'd be the return of his first real crush, Nolan Skinner. --- Jack Nordheim is more than happy to spend his senior year doing what he's done his entire life: hyper-focusing on school, ignoring anyone outside his tight-knit friend group (avoiding all drama within said friend group), and doing his best to get into a good college, so he can get out of this small town and finally live his life the way he's always pictured it. Unfortunately for him, there's one problem. And he's just moved in across the street. Of course Jack remembers Nolan Skinner from middle school. He's grown out of his awkward trouble-maker stage into something of a (disturbingly attractive) bad boy ... who just so happens to need Jack's tutoring services. As morning walks and late night study sessions begin to unveil a side of Jack that even he wasn't aware of, there's a decision he'll have to make. Just how much room is there in his life for this boy? ---think the same energy as "I'll Give You the Sun," "You Should See Me in a Crown," and "What If It's Us"---

When Sawyer Smith is given a second opportunity at life, she finds herself stuck in the pages of the last book she read--her ex-best friend's rom-com. ****** Sawyer wasn't expecting to be given a second chance after a deadly incident, but she's willing to do anything to get back to her real, normal life. Unfortunately for Sawyer, she finds herself reincarnated in the pages of the last book she read: her ex-best friend's cringey Wattpad romance novel. Even worse, Sawyer only read it because she discovered she was the inspiration for the main antagonist. Which was, she would like to point out, written before their infamous falling out. Now, stuck wandering the halls of this strange, cursed high school--stuck with an even stranger bad boy, who may or may not know more than he lets on, and a frustratingly beautiful but misogynistic Mary Sue main character who will stop at nothing to ruin Sawyer's day--Sawyer must work the system to create her own happy ending ... or die trying. (Potentially.)

Brutally dumped less than 24 hours after her first day, Marcie discovers that there may be no better distraction than her new job ... and new boss. After all, Marcie has had a crush on über-famous, ultra-hot Roz since high school. And - although she promised Marcie their relationship was strictly professional - Roz might just be returning her awkward, bumbling advances. When lines begin to blur and career prospects end up on the line, Marcie is sure of one thing: either she gives up on her dreams, or her dream woman. "You know, they have tutorials online for this kind of thing," I tell her. "You know, I hired a personal assistant for this kind of thing," she retorts. And then, we both stand there, awkwardly close. We watch the coffee sputter, then begin to pour. Neither of us utters a word. And, when it's done pouring, neither of us reach for it. "Are you ... not gonna take your coffee?" I finally ask. It's quiet. Tentative. "Oh. Right."
