"That time is ours to take, so we should take it"

The Longest Timeout Kyah Edwards knows what addiction does to people. She watched it take her father long before she was old enough to understand why he disappeared behind prison walls. Years later, she watched it take her older brother, Khalil-the person she loved most in the world. Ever since, she's promised herself she'd never stand by and watch someone she loves destroy themselves again. Then she meets Juju Watkins. The future of women's basketball. The projected number one draft pick. The girl who makes Kyah believe in a future she never thought she could have. What begins as an unexpected friendship quickly becomes something more, and before long, they're inseparable. For the first time in years, Kyah feels safe. For the first time in her life, Juju lets someone see the person behind the superstar. But when a devastating ACL injury shatters Juju's world during March Madness, everything changes. Basketball has always been her purpose. Without it, she's lost. As depression, pressure and fear begin to consume her, Juju turns to anything that can make the pain disappear-even if only for a little while. What starts with prescription medication spirals into something far more dangerous, and soon the girl Kyah fell in love with is slipping further away. No matter how hard she fights for her, Kyah can't stop history from repeating itself. And when one reckless decision leaves their futures hanging by a thread, both women are forced to confront a heartbreaking question: How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? A powerful story about love, grief, addiction, and second chances, The Longest Timeout explores the devastating consequences of substance abuse-and the courage it takes to fight your way back.

Two introverts. One painfully awkward first meeting. And a connection neither of them knows how to handle. Between wrestling mats, basketball courts, and conversations that never come out right, JuJu Watkins and Milan Keawe slowly learn that sometimes the quietest people feel things the loudest.

[on a break] JUJU WATKINS AND AARICIA TU'IVAI-COLEMAN met at their breaking points. JuJu, the USC Trojans' superstar captain, tore her ACL against Mississippi State and shut herself off after surgery, while Aaricia returned from England after studying kinesiology, carrying the loss of a sports career ended by injury. When Aaricia became a trainee physical therapist for USC and they shared photography classes, two lost lives quietly intertwined through lenses and bones.

sequel to 'off the record' "say whatever you want-but you know i'm still your best." "that doesn't mean you're still my choice." ••• leilani didn't leave USC-she just needed space to heal. space from everything...and everyone that came with it. now she's back, three months later, with a fresh start and someone new-someone who makes it easier not to think about everything she lost. and for a while, that was enough. no more almosts. no more what-ifs. no more juju. until she's standing in front of her again...and realizing some things never really ended. now the lines are starting to blur- between who she's with... and who she still wants.
