"It's not something you can choose. It's something that chooses you." When Coda Becker leaves her home in Australia as a high school junior to live in Osville, Massachusetts, she doesn't say a word to those she's leaving behind, the string quartet she was part of back in Canberra. But no matter how hard she tries, the memories keep following her around, taunting her for giving up just when she really shouldn't have. Even her own name is a reminder of everything she tossed away, and the burden is always there in the back of her mind. It gets worse when her quartet's cellist moves to the same town as her, increasing tensions between the two. Amidst new relationships and a journey back to something she cherished the most, Coda must learn to accept fate before it crushes her itself. Coda © 2020 Radhi Arya

France, 1937. It only takes a single snowstorm for Lina Fontaine's family to fall apart. When an accident in the snow kills her brother and renders her speechless, Lina and her family move to Marseilles, France in order to escape the painful memories. Disillusioned and disgusted with her new reality, Lina yearns to hide away from the world. Yet when her father abandons them and threatens to take her beloved sister with him, Lina realizes she can no longer ignore her own struggles. It is only when Lina meets Luka Fuhrmann, a German-Jewish pianist with a mysterious past, that she begins to have hope again. At the same bookstore she encounters him, she receives a book with a letter tucked between the pages, written by a father pleading for help to find his missing daughter. When she learns there is a monetary reward, Lina realizes this may be the key to saving her own family. Yet as Lina becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl and spends more and more time with Luka, she finds her frequent absences may only be destroying her crumbling family further. And when Lina's plan ends up endangering her sister as well as Luka, Lina is forced to decipher what is most important: her family, the boy she loves, or her own desires.

When the quiet girl in Clayton Hugh's chemistry class comes knocking on his door at five in the morning barely covered up in her little pajamas, inattentive, and drooling like crazy, he has no choice but to take her inside. But once Lucy Walker wakes up inside a room she has never seen before wearing an over-sized t-shirt and gym shorts, you can imagine the pure panic setting in her. The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.

~complete~ Charlotte is as sweet as a strawberry. She's the kind of person who will drop everything just to help you, just to put a smile on your face. She's as sweet as the sugar that constantly runs through her bloodstream, and as excitable as the rush that comes with it. And then there's Benjamin, who's as sour as a lemon. The last thing on this Godforsaken planet he wants to do is acquaint himself with her. While Charlotte is kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean. So how in the hell is that going to turn out?
