Can't wait to read more! [heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0

I appreciated the fact that you not only focused on what it is like to have a mental illness, but also how mental illness can have a ripple effect on friends and family; and how the journey isn't always one of smooth sailing." - @CreativeBibliophile "Wow, this was written so exceptionally well. All of my senses were completely engaged and I love how realistic your writing is." - GhostsInsideOfMyBed "Never have [I] felt so connected to a character, honestly. His struggles feel so real, it's astonishing." - @BeZorro * This story is a spin-off to All The Things We Lost but can be read as a standalone. Cover by @dysanic

As an exchange student from Scotland, a whole new world opens up to Darren Green when he moves to the United States. He'll live with a host family, start at a new school, and he'll have to make new friends. However, what won't be a part of this new life is love. Love is nothing but the attribution of physiological arousal to attraction, and it distracts him from what he should be focusing on: getting into Princeton. So, when a kiss cam forces him to kiss a stranger, and that stranger kisses him twice, he goes along, but only for the sake of exploring this new American life. However, he can't help but get caught up in the life of this mysterious stranger named Dakota. As he navigates life in the States, he keeps finding himself close to her, going on adventures he'd never dared to dream of. However, he convinces himself it isn't love. It's just friendship -- friendship that started with a kiss.

Wonderwall: (n) Someone you find yourself thinking about all the time, someone you're infatuated with. * There had been five. In my life, there have been five girls I've fallen in love with. Five who have been my wonderwall. There was Melody, who sang her way into my heart. Kendra, the boldest girl of all. Summer, the brightest and girliest girl I'd ever met. Belle, who made me fall in love with so much more than just her spirit. And Dawn, who understood me like no one ever could. Five wonderwalls, each a different story. And this is how it happened. * * * [ This story is in no way related to the song. ] * Featured on WattPadShortStory * * Featured on WattPad's YA * * Featured on WattPad's UndiscoveredBooks * * First place in the Writers Awards * * First place in Glitter Awards * * First place in the Creativity Awards * * First place in Sunflower Awards * * First place in Honour Awards * * First place Coffee and Cake Awards * * First place Blue Rose Awards * * First place The Aeryn Awards * * Second place Piggyback Awards * * Second place Gemstone Awards * * Second place The Soul Awards * * * * "This really brings me back to being a kid." - TheDeadPlace "I binged this whole thing now I want to read it over and over ❤️" - josiecat987 "There are so many things you can do with classical romance but this book CHANGES EVERYTHING. When I saw the synopsis, I was thinking "aaand another romance, there's no way this is going through". Wrong again! The author is so skilled at developing a story that I'm beginning to call it natural-born talent. When cliche. Is taken. On another level." - Millie (feedback from Piggyback Awards) "This book will inspire many romance novelists." - Rachel (feedback from Piggyback Awards) "What a beautiful and heartwarming read! Your concept, your voice, your aesthetics, your execution; it was all breathtaking. I could have read this story many times over." - TheCreativityAwards Credit for the cover goes to @goldenways :)

❝some things you can't put into words... so you make them into poems.❞ ➢ a WattPad Poetry featured collection Words have power. Power to explain emotions, to make you feel, to make you believe. They tell of every tear and every smile. They show you love and hurt. This is everything I couldn't find the words for. What I wanted to tell you but what didn't leave my lips. When I couldn't find an explanation and just kept quiet. Everything you made me feel, everything we had. The things that kept circling in my mind after our conversations, the things I wanted to scream when I nodded instead, the things I eventually had to let go of. This is everything I wanted to say but never did. * * * #99 in poetry (October 18, 2018) #35 in collection (October 8, 2018) 1st place in wallflower_r weekly writing contest #27 2nd place in wallflower_r weekly writing contest #28 2nd place in The Coffee and Cake Awards "This is so so so beautiful and amazing I can't even explain!

❝why is it that when the story ends we begin to feel all of it?❞ ➢ a collection of poetry ∙ ∙ ∙ I stopped writing. There was no real reason for it, but for some reason, I just did. No words on paper anymore, no way to let my thoughts out. I kept everything inside and just stayed quiet while continuing to live my life. By myself, this time. Until I couldn't anymore. I need to feel again, need to live again, need to love again. That's why I'm picking up the pen to let all the words I kept inside flow onto the paper, the thoughts that never left my mind, and what I've never told you. Hey there, it's me. And I have something to tell you. * daily updates * What others said: "This is an utterly beautiful and thought provoking collection of work." - PrettyLittleQueenA "Beautiful ❤️❤️" - TheHermitCrab "The world needs your words." - bandito06 #1 in modernpoetry! ‣ cover by @dysanic
