Cassandra lived in a modest village, settled in The Great Forest of Varylin- a thriving kingdom forged by mystical islands. She had been raised by the elder of her village and had heard little regarding her real parents, oblivious to the impending danger that awaited her dear home. Her village now reduced to mere ruins, Cassandra is determined to venture beyond the forest to the heart of Vanerluma, an island amidst the magical kingdom of Varylin. Now that there is nobody to turn to, she is forced to do nothing but embark on an enthralling journey to fulfil her hope of finding her real parents and uncover the truth which forced her village to burn. Aided by her mysteriously magical locket, Cassandra will be ensnared in a journey of betrayal, love and mystery. In the perilous road ahead, ignorant of the many harboured secrets that will eventually unfold, she will unearth the truth behind the enigmatic disposal of her village and her real birth parents. In a world where wise goblins, skilled trolls, manipulating shapeshifters and magical beings of other kinds reside, Cassandra will be manoeuvred by the manipulating strings of fate. ─── ⋆⋅ ☾⋅⋆ ───

Featured on @Romance, @Ambassadors, and @humor, @ChickLit Cover art by the fabulous @LNRoberts1. It's 2019 and university student, Olivia O'Shea, doesn't possess the luck of the Irish as her name might suggest. Instead, she's feeling like she might just be the unluckiest girl on the planet. Her high school sweetheart, Daniel Burns, whom she continued to date in college, was found with his fingers, and a few other more salacious body parts in someone else's cookie jar. Now it's summer vacation and Olivia is back in her hometown licking her wounds and trying to forget it all. At their old high school's international food festival, Olivia runs into Daniel with his new girlfriend, and a storm is definitely brewing. But this storm is a real one with thunder, lightning and rain, and Olivia, caught out in the open, is suddenly struck by lightning. She wakes up in the high school infirmary only to find that she's been transported back to high school with the chance to do it all over again. Olivia is determined to ditch Daniel, in spite of his stubborn advances, and instead tries to rekindle an old flame with the shy introverted Jack Garcia, with whom she'd shared one very spectacular kiss back in high school. As Olivia attempts to pursue Jack, Daniel keeps getting in the way and frustrating her plans. Can she really change her future for the better, or is history only meant to repeat itself? If you liked the iconic 1980s rom-com Peggy Sue Got Married, then you'll love this modern retelling of the classic, time-travel, do-over, second chance at love.

Cuz that kind of stuff only happens in Wattpad books. Someone texting or calling the wrong number, they fall in love, meet in person, confess their undying love for each other, happily ever after, the end. Too cliché. Even for me. - Gracie Summers was born with a brain injury which led to dysarthria. She hardly every spoke to anyone outside her family, and even then, she used short sentences. When she receives a text from the wrong number, will she develop feelings for him or succumb to the threats from the girl whose number he was supposed to text that night? {EDITED COMPLETE BY ME / @JULIE_PROOFEDIT } Word count // 20,000 Word count (after editing) // 50,000+ #15 / 26.1K stories in 'truestory' tag {7/21/2022} #1 / 44.5K stories in 'nonfiction' tag {5/17/22} #1 / 302K stories in 'shortstory' tag {5/27/22} #1 / 168K stories in 'call' tag {8/6/22} #1 / 132K stories in 'short' tag {6/8/22} #1 / 186K stories in 'comedy' tag {7/21/24} #8 / 238K stories 'funny' tag {7/22/24}
