Sixteen-year-old Catalina Halloway thought her story ended the night she jumped from that bridge. Instead, she wakes three months earlier-alive, unbroken, and trapped in a world she'd left behind long ago. Her suicide note has vanished. Her family remembers nothing. And yet Catalina knows one thing for certain: if she does nothing, her path will lead back to the same inevitable end. Determined to rewrite the ending, Catalina digs into the lies surrounding her quaint little town and all its people. Logan, the boy who ruined her. Grayson, the one who let it all happen. And the ghosts from her past- those who never really left. But the more Catalina tries to alter the story, the more the story seems to alter her. Each choice she makes leads her down another path, unraveling not just the town's secrets but the thing she fears most. The monster in her mind. Because Catalina is learning the hardest truth of all-sometimes you're not the hero of the story. Sometimes you're the villain. i didn't have it in myself to go with grace, and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

Annabelle hadn't wanted to burn the restaurant down initially. In all honesty, she had been in a good mood. The food smelled great, the weather was perfect, and the boy she had met on Tinder looked like an absolute snack in all his pictures. But then, he rocked up to the date half an hour late, without an apology. Worse yet, he didn't look anything like his Tinder photos. In fact, he looked old enough to be her uncle. Still, she has to admit that, while her date sucks, the food is tasty. Plus, the waiter is also pretty cute. Besides, when that same waiter offers her a hand in serving some revenge to her catfishing date, Annabelle just can't say no. Does this charming waiter spell trouble? Possibly. But, surely, once revenge is served cold, there is always room for dessert, hey?

• WATTYS 2022 WINNER • When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)
