After a prank gone wrong, a high school junior unintentionally becomes a TikTok star and inspires protests against gender-biased dress codes. ⁂ How to go from a high school anonymous to an Internet sensation in five steps: 1. Break into your school during the Open School Night, 2. Protest the ridiculous dress code in a football mascot costume, 3. Smuggle in a dairy cow if you happen to have one, 4. Let your best friend get the whole thing on video, 5. And, miraculously and inexplicably, profit. The only thing that Liz has ever wanted is to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Fine, maybe she's aiming high, but a prestigious film academy is well within her reach - at least if she can focus on her film project instead of fantasizing about the local heartthrob, Aiden West. But when the new dress code puts a damper on her pristine student record and her harmless prank turns viral, Liz realizes that she might be starring in a box-office flop after all. Can she make it through this plot twist without getting expelled? And how many drafts will it take her to get the guy of her dreams? 📚 WORD COUNT 📚 ✍ 80,000-90,000 words 🏆 AWARDS 🏆 🏅 This book has been featured on: 🔸 Wattpad's official General Fiction account ("Finding Love | Romance" reading list) 🔸 Wattpad's official Romance account ("Young Love" reading list) 🔸 Wattpad's official Young Adult account ("Love, Actually" reading list) 🔸 WattpadSocialMedia account ("No Filter Needed | Romance and Chicklit" reading list) 🥉 The Thriller Club Awards

Sometimes the best way over something is not through. It's under. Chance Whitley is sinking. Devastated after he discovers his wife, Lacey, is cheating on him, Chance has nothing left to keep him afloat, and so he drowns instead. Under the haze of alcohol and poor decisions is where he meets Freya. She is sweet and strong-minded and just the friend he needs. Though, being just friends is not the end goal for Chance and Freya. Not even close. There's more to their story written in the stars for them, but first, Chance has to decide if he wants to read on. His job, his family, his friends, and his sobriety are all at stake of sinking too, and he needs to snap out of it long enough to care. Long enough to fight. Long enough to realize that one broken heart doesn't have to dictate the rest of your life. Happiness is within Chance's reach. But is he strong enough to take a chance on love?

Adrian Gonzalez knows the painful truth about liking someone you have no chance with-they never like you back and you're left heartbroken. Ever wonder why it's called a 'crush?' But when the hopeless crush he has is on Parker Thompson-nonbinary school heartthrob with an impeccable fashion sense-he can't help but wish things would turn out differently. Staring at Parker from two seats behind in Biology is fine, and praying he doesn't get a boner when Parker jogs ahead of him in gym class is less fine- -but neither are as satisfying as he wishes they were. A class group chat is all it takes to intertwine Adrian's and Parker's lives. And one impulsive, stupid, never-wish-I-typed-it reply is the turning point for Adrian's love story. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ☆Featured on @WattpadSocialMedia DM me reading list ☆Featured on @YARomance Friendzone Doesn't Exist reading list ☆ONC 2021 Longlist Ambassadors Pick ☆ONC 2021 Shortlist ☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention Based on Prompt 73 Started: 5th February 2021
