How To Be The Best Third Wheel is now published as a Paperback & E-book by Wattpad Books! As a Wattpad reader, you can also now access the Original Edition for free and the Wattpad Books Published Edition here upon purchase. It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.

The life of Surayya Hamdan took a drastic turn and before she realized it, she found herself deep in the path of despair that posed a danger to her life and family. In the midst of dealing with defamation, paranoia, losing her job and all that her life brought-the trials and pain-it also reawakened the feelings of the man she had always been in love with, Sa'ad Abdi. Abdullah Sa'ad Abdi, a man who has a past that keeps him at an arms length from the feelings he had harbored for years, could not for the life of him pull away from the compelling inclination of wanting to protect Surayya as danger lurked silently around her, to comfort and to quench an insatiable curiosity that was strong enough to make him crawl back into the hole of sentiments he had done everything in his power to escape from.

Y/N has spent her whole career avoiding headlines that weren't about her music.
