Wren Martin is socially awkward. She blocks off herself to the world, hiding behind her favorite hoodie.

But then a babysitting job leads her to cross paths with Asher Reed, Eastview Highʼs notorious athlete. When a field injury kickstarts his senior year, heʼs turning his free time and attention to Wren. And maybe she might not want to be invisible after all. ***** [Watty's Collector's Edition Winner] [TFA Runaway Prize Winner] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

Charlie is in serious hot water. After a naked girl falls from the sky, lands on his lawn, and claims to be from heaven, his entire summer is flipped upside-down. This girl can talk to animals, fight like a ninja, and hear people's thoughts. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's got the most gorgeous blue eyes this side of the equator and skin as soft as goose down. But she is on earth for one reason and one reason only: to save a lost soul left behind on the wrong plane. Charlie agrees to help her, but when her jealous partner shows up to speed up the process, things get tense for all of them. Can Charlie let go of the one thing that has ever made him feel worthwhile? And more importantly, does she feel the same?

Anna and James live in a world where every person is a color based on their personality. Each day the color may change to a darker shade or a lighter tint of the same color based on their temporary mood for the moment, but everyone is stuck with their one color for their whole life once it's formed. Society in this world judges people by their colors, social groups are formed by their colors, and classes are formed by their colors. Blue is the color no one ever wants to be. Any person that is blue is automatically singled out because of what the color means. Blue means that the person has a pessimistic attitude towards life and is disconnected from the world. James is blue because he can't see any of these colors. He can only see black and white. He knows he's different. To everyone, he's blue but to himself, he's just an outcast. Anna is a yellow, free-spirit who doesn't care about colors. Yellow is the happiest color there is and Anna is the happiest person there is. What happens when the blue boy and yellow girl cross paths? Inspired by the song Blue by Troye Sivan and Alex Hope.
