WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION How do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

When Corinna Evans' mother is sent to prison, Corinna has nowhere else to go so she moves back in with her father and his family. Determined to make it through these last few months of school, she only wants to keep a low profile and get by but someone keeps getting in her way. Tyler Flynn has been best friends with Corinna's brother forever and she's never liked him. What happens when her feelings start to change? And will her family ever forgive her for her past?

After the traumatizing night that tore apart Ellie's entire family, she develops Androphobia. A fear of men. When she realizes that therapy hasn't helped her fear subside, she and her sister move to San Francisco in hopes that it'll give them both a fresh start. But when she's enrolled in Westprep, a school with boys and girls, she meets the egotistical Chase Milestone. Their encounter makes her realize that for the first time in her life, her phobia might actually be the least of her concerns. -- Chase is the stereotypical bad boy. Or at least, he was. When one of his pranks goes too far, he ruins the life of an innocent girl and devastates his mom. Now, he will do anything to destroy his bad boy rep and mend the broken relationship he has with his mother. Unfortunately for him, he accidentally bumps into a lost blonde girl searching for her class one Monday morning and his whole life is turned upside down. Literally. I guess it's just his luck that the girl has a crippling fear of men. ***This is a story about a girl with very real and serious problems and how she finds herself.
