When he and Lizzie realize both of them need some help to get through the night they come up with a plan to do just that. {Prev. Sleep Deprived}

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like." With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school. But the moment she saw her first humpback, she knew she had found her passion and future career. A few years later and an invitation to Paradise City in hand, Reagan has her entire summer laid out for her, working on the project of a lifetime. But with five other students completing their projects as well, will they discover something worthwhile, or will they end up a psychology lesson for future generations? A New Adult Watty Winner 2019

***WATTYS 2021 YA WINNER*** When her handsome nemesis challenges her to a bet, ambitious eighteen-year-old Nyla must go on more dates than him or risk losing her dream role on the school paper. The only problem is, can she stop herself from falling for him in the process? ***** The world of online dating is hard...especially when the boy you hate turns it into a competition. Ambitious Nyla Satori has a perfect life, except for the fact she's on the brink of adulthood and has never been kissed. She's also about to lose her dream role on the school paper to her ex-best friend turned nemesis, Jax Henderson, unless she can do something to stop him. When Jax spots her eyeing his new dating app, he comes up with a bet that solves all of her problems: the pair will join the app, and whoever scores the most dates in two months wins the role of Faculty Advisor. For Nyla, it's the ultimate bet, but when old feelings resurface and the pair grow closer, she starts to wonder if she really hates Jax as much as she thought she did. Either way, there can only be one winner at the end of two months, and both are certain that it's going to be them.
