WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. The past always resurfaces . . . Five years after almost drowning, Olivia Cathart returns home to Caldwell Beach determined to face her fears and take some risks-not just by swimming but by opening her heart. Hoping to rekindle her friendships, she's excited about a carefree summer with her best friends Keely and Miles. But life in the sleepy town has changed, and no one and nothing is as it seems. When a series of startling crimes threaten Olivia's fragile state, she is plunged into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Her only solace from the chaos is West, Miles's disowned and ruggedly handsome brother, but even he can't answer the question on everyone's minds-is Olivia really in danger or is it simply all in her head?

"God, I don't want to be empty inside anymore..."-Shawn Hunter (BoyMeetsWorld) ❤️ I want to raise awareness about depression and mental illness. It's often a lifelong struggle, and it's common. Don't be afraid to talk about it. You're missing out if you stay quiet. WARNING: mental health, angst, graphic, depression, emotional trauma, rejection, abandonment, loneliness, bereavement, grief, orphaned. "Pain should leave through your tears, not through your blood. Through your eyes, not through your wrists. Vulnerability looks good on you. And always ask for help." These are the scribblings of an average teen dealing with constant disappointments, who doesn't want to make a scene but deep inside is screaming out in pain. Will he find a way to hope again before it's too late? Will he find a faith in something bigger than the here and now, than what he can physically feel? Shawn feels like he's all alone, like no one understands him. No one sees who he really is except what he's pretended to be. He's melting under the pressure of everyone's expectations: Mr. Turner's, his family's, the Matthew's, his peers, Mr. Feeny's. He's lost but not able to face the reality of everything. What will become of him? He's tried to hide from the pain of his past and the fear of his fate. Who can he trust with all this? To top it all off, his real parents abandoned him. He can't take another lie, another reason to push people away. Another reason to hate himself. The depression is real, but there's still hope. Ranked #2 in Unwritten as of May 9, 2020

Your typical story...with a twist.

Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recovery

He won't get his class under control. He won't make friends apart from the shamelessly unique school misfit. He won't serve sandwiches to the student body without lacing them with laxatives, at least once (maybe twice). Oscar Glyde won't do anything, really. He won't even heal your pride. ...

In the attic of Jade's childhood was an old trunk, locked.

"He was a smoker. She asked him why. He said it was his slow suicide." - REVIEWS: "Slow Suicide is one of the best books that I've read. A beautiful story of two strangers that befriend each other and it soon became love. Shows that you can brighten someone's day with just a simple greeting or maybe getting to know them. Cig and Rainy are a beautiful pair that brings light into the darkness and turns night into day with their love story." -@Kaybae1212 "A touching story of true love told through small, sweet encounters. So many twists and turns that you will never see coming. A beautiful and safe love story overall that will leave you in tears! (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)" -@Squirtle301 "Slow Suicide will make your emotions spin like the twists and turns of this story. Each chapter will make you wonder what will happen next. As a person who's not a fan of reading romance, this was definitely out of this world like no other. Filled with despair, romance, heartbreak, and twists, you would be questioning life even more. This is truly a must read. The author has truly captured my attention throughout the entire story, as every chapter is like a beautiful structure built in with the words that help me envision what love can evolve in." -@Hope-Mist - Book 1 in the "Pure Love Tales" series.
