(My first language is not English, so please, feedback is well appreciated, but keep in mind and bare with me! I am a Danish teenage girl, aspiring to become an author or actress!) After her father dies, fifteen year old Peyton Freja Mae leaves Sweden for an exchange year in South Carolina, mostly because the plan had already existed long before everything in her life started falling apart. Charleston feels unreal from the second she arrives. Too bright. Too hot. Too loud. Nothing like the quiet outskirts of Stockholm she grew up in. Then there's the Foresters. The family her father used to talk about before he died. A beach house on Folly Beach. Shared music rooms. Boat days. Country clubs. Late night drives. People who somehow make space for her before she even knows what to do with it. Especially Matthew Forester. Quiet in a way that hides more than it says. The kind of person who notices things without acting like he does. What was supposed to be one temporary year slowly turns into something else entirely. Because somewhere between music, beaches, grief, friendship, and the version of herself she left behind in Sweden, Peyton starts realizing that home is a much more complicated thing than she thought. A slowburn coming of age story about first love, found family, music, and learning how to live again after loss.

Juliette is completely in love with the idea of being in love with her effortlessly cool crush, Mathieu Fournier. She's had a crush on him since sixième, when the girl sat next to her asked her which guy she liked. She's just never actually spoken to him. When their paths cross unexpectedly, Tegan and Juliette realise that they might actually have something in common. If Tegan can get Juliette to get into the stable relationship that has only ever been in her fantasies, she may be able to prove to herself that she can be serious about love. But, with a limited amount of time and some very confusing hidden secrets, could it be that the two girls end up falling for... each other? #2 in exchangeyear - 30/07/2024 #3 in balletdancer - 13/12/2024 #4 in primaballerina - 07/08/2024

Do you know that feeling, when you really like this guy but he doesn't know you exist. When all of your friends say you'll never get him but you still can't stop thinking about him? Well I know that very well because that's exactly what's happening to me. His name? Aidan. Aidan Timothy Reed. The guy that everyone at school knows. The guy that would never fall in love with an exchange student.

Eine wahre Begebenheit soll in dieser Plattform veröffentlicht werden. Eigentlich muss ich gestehen, dass ich niemals geplant hatte, solch eine Geschichte in die Öffentlichkeit zu bringen.
