PUBLISHED BY PENGUIN SEA ON 17TH JULY, 2025. OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK & EBOOK! Clara Healy is convinced her family is cursed. After witnessing two relationships from the closest people in her life fall apart, Clara is determined not to be the curse's next victim by avoiding the root cause: falling in love with cliché love interests. Even when one tiny mishap led her to partner up with Colton Reed - the college star baseball player - for ASL class, she wasn't going to let the curse get to her. But as Clara and Colton started spending more time together and she started getting to know him beyond his star athlete exterior, Clara realized that some things were easier said than done. And escaping the curse was going to be a lot more difficult than she thought it would be. ⋅⋅⋅ Cover photo from Pinterest, edited on Canva.

They say you can learn a lot from a book, but no book has taught me how to be a regular teenager. No book has taught me how to comfortably balance a social life and school, not to mention work. And no book has ever taught me how to successfully reel in a boy and keep him. But people...people can teach you things in ways books cannot. So when Diego Ruiz has to live in my house for a month because he's not trusted enough to stay alone at his own, I learn quite a lot from him, more than any book I've ever gotten my hands on. cover by wattpad user @authenticbot- warning: some swearing (kept to a minimum)

I guess you could say it all started with the Library Agreement. She came in every day, each time walking up to my desk and meeting my eyes with a sort of forced smile, the kind that broken-hearted people give. ❝I'm here for a book.❞ She'd say, and I would smirk. ❝Aren't you always?❞ 《SAMPLE》 54 | TF FULL STORY EXCLUSIVELY ON DREAME

A poetry bundle. The Japanese phrase 'Mono no aware' (or in short: 'Aware') is literally translated as: "the pathos of things". It's the awareness of impermanence or the transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness at their passing as well as a longer, deeper sadness about this state being the reality of life. This phenomenal cover-art is all Sevval's (@beautlies) work, and I couldn't be more pleased to have it grace this bundle.
