Elliot Spellman wanted to live; he wanted to feel the rush everyone else did. He was tired of being just some kid in the back of the class who went home every night to study in his bedroom. That was how he found himself in an alley, dealing marijuana. He wanted this, he needed this. Not marijuana, but friends, a group, the thrill. Beatle, Mi, Trick, and Whiskey all agree that he can join them in their unlawful behavior (despite how boring his name is). And they all slowly bond, except Elliot seems to bond with Beatle more than the others. Maybe, a little too much. -- There is a second book in this universe with Whiskey as the main character it is called Asymptote --

Taking care of a robot baby was something Cole expected when he signed up for the Parenting class his school offered. What he didn't expect was being partnered up with another guy. And that's not the worst of it. This guy? Yeah, it's the same guy who he might have had a fling with during the summer. The same guy who never called him back after "the incident." The same guy who he spilled his guts to in a drunken haze. He can't wait to get this project over with, but partnering up with someone who knows everything about you and still rejected you is a lot harder than one might think. On top of all this, a few unforeseeable situations pop up at the most inconvenient of times. Will the stress make Cole crack? Can the boys get over what happened in the past to get the grade? Or will they end up being the worst baby daddies in the history of parenting?

It's been four days since I stopped going to school. Seven since the last teacher stopped showing up though, so I reckon there's not much point any more.

Society is collapsing; resources are exhausted; the British Sanctuaries are overwhelmed by the constant influx of evacuees. And in the midst of the chaos, a secluded boy in the Scottish highlands decides to document his isolated lifestyle as he awaits evacuation.
