It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

[SPONSORED BY TELUS] Eva Shaw's junior year falls apart when she sees a website dedicated to making fun of Cathy, a reclusive student, and does nothing about it. Eva watches the posts pop up every night and doesn't speak a word. But when she accidentally gets closer to Cathy, it slowly gets tougher to keep quiet about the bullying she witnesses each day. Cathy seems to be pulling further away from everyone and has no desire to bring a teacher into her mess and make things complicated. But Eva is finding it harder to keep quiet with all the guilt building up around her and when she finds out the creator of the website is much closer to her than she thought, doing the right thing seems almost impossible. With her 'friends' telling her to keep quiet, Cathy falling away and her own guilt pulling at her, Eva has to decide if speaking out is really worth it or if she should just listen to everyone and stay a simple bystander.

This book is all about basic French. This includes the words, how to use them and their grammar. I'm still editing this book because I am planning to apply as a French teacher here in the Philippines one day. Please proofread my work and if you see anything wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. I am not a native French speaker but I have been learning this language for 15 years. Format:English Word - Different French Words French Word (How it sounds like) - Literal Translation WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED I'm using American / Filipino phonetics. So, pronunciation that you could see varies. For example is bonjour... if you will say bonjour in America or in the Philippines it sounds like bon jooRRRrr. People give emphasis to the "R"...It should be soft. A normal person who is not from France cannot pronounce the R softly. This is why it is slightly omitted in the phonetics i provided to balance with the language we could speak. Just like the word water. In America it sound like "wotr" we say it fast with almost a silent e. but in British it's "woo-tah" and in french it sounds like "what-ter". I tried my best to decipher the best phonetics so it would sound more french or almost the exact replica of saying it based on Filipino / American accent. If you think it is totally different, you could PM me and we could discuss about it thru skype. (Best viewed in mobile) Created on July 9, 2015 - Sept. 15, 2015 Updated on May 14, 2020 - ongoing
