Ivline, a burnout college instructor, has to forcibly accept the department head's advice for a vacation due to students' complaints about her performance. She situates herself in her aunt's residence in Willow, a countryside rumored to give an "unworldly" experience to its visitors. Wandering anywhere, Ivline finds herself in front of a crochet craft shop, getting hired by an odd owner without any idea that she is next to experience the magic.

Lyka thought she'd have a better school life in college, but it was way too different from what she had imagined. She already got into trouble during the first day and what's worse was she had to share a room with Dylan, a guy who she thought was made to make her life more miserable than it already was. With an ever annoying classmate-turned-roommate, a previous best friend who disappeared years ago, and a sweet yet deeply hurt girl, her once boring existence turned into a rollercoaster ride.

After graduating, all Elix wanted to do was rest for a while, but an invitation changed the course of her summer vacation. She had been a writer on an online platform since college and accumulated quite a huge number of readers. She received an invitation from the online platform about a newly-developed variety-reality show with their writers. Thinking it would help her overcome her social anxiety and familiarize with different kinds of people, she agreed to participate, and thus the start of her unexpected adventure with her fellow writers.

In my twenty-two years of existence, I just made this compilation in which it reflected my entire life. Be it the sad parts or good ones. Be it all about love, friends, or family. Welcome to IceFontana18's thoughts. -------- Book cover credits to:
