Some ghosts never die. For William Slate, there's always been his troubled older brother Charlie. When Charlie left home in the aftermath of a violent confrontation, scars and a childhood cut short was the legacy he left behind. Seven years later, William Slate is finally in control, and he won't give that up for anything. Athena Slate is an open book. Self-reliant and brutally honest, she refuses to let anything get in her way. Not an increasingly distant twin brother, not a best friend she hasn't seen in months, and certainly not the things people start to say about her at school... When their father announces that Charlie is returning home, Will and Athena must navigate minefields of memory and family. ⭐️FEATURED by @StoriesUndiscovered, @YA, @CommunityTeam, and @NewAdult ⭐️

Welcome to River View Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre, or as its occupants like to call it, the IV League. The IV League isn't an elite class of private hospitals. It's a name that the patients adopted for themselves to make them feel better about their conditions. About their fate. Most inpatients spend their days wondering which will be their last. But not these five teens. Five teenagers being treated at the same hospital become the unlikeliest of friends and develop the strongest bonds. Each of them suffers from a different issue, but all of them are united by one common factor: facing the questions of life and death. They fall in love, break hearts, fight, experience life for the first time, suffer, and survive. For most people, a hospital is a place where life ends, but for them, it's where life begins. Five patients. One hospital. And this is their story. ••• Inspired by the tv show Red Band Society. Cover by @xtruebeautyx Trailer by @AliasLOVE //Unedited. Please bear with all mistakes.//
