Taylor was fresh out of a relationship and desperate for love. Travis was newly suspended for drug use, reckless enough to treat life like a joke, and charming enough to get away with it. The two of them fell into a situationship built on bad decisions and worse timing. Seven weeks later, she was crying over a positive pregnancy test. Terrified of becoming the kind of parents they grew up with, they convinced themselves love could be built through commitment. Marriage followed quickly - along with years of cheating, screaming matches, resentment, and two people growing up in opposite directions while desperately trying not to fall apart. Somehow, they stay and by the time they finally learn how to love each other without destroying everything around them. But it's too late. Their son has already inherited the worst parts of both of them. At fifteen, he's arrogant, impulsive, and developing the same reputation his parents once had. Then he meets Vianne. And Vianne? She's not any better.

Taylor is used to surviving. Travis is used to showing up. Somewhere between stadium lights, sleepless nights, football games, and cities that never seem to stop moving, something magical begins to grow between them. But healing isn't easy, and some wounds don't disappear easily just because someone loves you. As Taylor learns to navigate old fears, anxiety, and the weight of everything she's been carrying alone, Travis stays. Patient and steady, he never asks her to be anything other than herself. For the first time, Taylor starts to wonder what it might feel like to be safe enough to have romantic whims. -- Spanning August to late November 2023, we explore the beginning months of the Tayvis relationship

Porque antes del primer gol, antes del primer partido y antes de que la historia sea escrita... el destino ya había comenzado a jugar.

The Raven Family Diary follows the everyday lives of an unusual ghost family living in the World of Death-the unseen, metaphysical counterpart of the living world. Here, memories are bought and sold, dreams are stored in banks, names sleep inside forgotten libraries, mirrors can go on strike, and every morning begins with a fresh issue of the Newspaper of Endings. The Raven Family consists of a grandmother who knows far more than she ever says, a father who is constantly looking for his missing head or hand, a mother who never skips the daily newspaper, a curious son and daughter, and their mischievous pet cat, Curse, who somehow causes trouble wherever she goes. Each chapter is a standalone dark fantasy tale filled with surreal humor, strange rules, and quiet mysteries, revealing another piece of a world where ideas are as real as objects-and where every ending is simply another story waiting to begin.

Blair is sixteen and lives in a small, remote town tucked deep in the Appalachian Mountains, where everyone knows each other and nothing ever really feels new. She has a close-knit group of friends, and they all go to the town's only school. Outside of class, they spend most of their time together-swimming in the creek, watching movies at each other's houses, and wandering the woods and backroads with nothing much else to do. Blair lives with her parents in a house that sits on a quiet stretch of land, with a smaller home just off to the side where her grandparents live. She has three siblings: an older brother two years ahead of her, an older sister just a year older, and a younger brother who is three years younger. The house is always a little too full and a little too loud, but it's the kind of place everyone comes back to eventually.
