Mila Brown never expected her first day of college to come with a roommate like Juju Watkins. Juju is a basketball star, known for dominating on the court and being impossible to pin down off of it. She's confident, distant, and has a reputation for never taking relationships seriously. To Juju, basketball comes first-always. When Mila moves into their dorm, Juju barely acknowledges her. Mila accepts it, figuring they're just two people forced to share a room. But after overhearing Juju saying hurtful things about her to her teammates, Mila begins to pull away. The two go from strangers to constant arguments, creating a dorm filled with tension and words they can't take back. As time passes, Juju starts noticing the silence Mila leaves behind. She realizes she misses their conversations, their arguments, and the way Mila always saw through her. But instead of admitting her feelings, Juju distracts herself with parties and other girls, leaving Mila convinced she never mattered. Slowly, Juju starts changing. She stops chasing meaningless relationships and begins choosing Mila-showing up for her, caring about her, and letting her see the person behind the athlete everyone knows. Mila tries to ignore the feelings growing between them, especially because she has a boyfriend. But when Juju tears her ACL during March Madness, everything changes. Mila is there through the hardest parts of rehab, seeing a side of Juju no one else gets to see. Somewhere between the fights, the hurt, and the moments they secretly cared more than they admitted, Mila realizes her feelings for Juju are real. And before she can start something new, she has to let go of what's holding her back. A slow-burn story about two roommates who started as strangers, became rivals, and slowly fell into something neither of them saw coming.

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.
