The year is 2025. 20-year-old Dolly Diamond is about to enter her third year of university, determined to turn her life around and to get away from her Mum, Martine, her sisters, Emily and Alice, and their flat in a rundown council estate. But then, something unexpected happens-and turns everything upside down. As it turns out, perhaps Dolly isn't so different from her mother after all... (Fanfiction of Diamond Girls by Jacqueline Wilson).

Four years. That's how long it's been since Haley escaped her tiny, rumor-plagued hometown for college across the country and never looked back. Freshly graduated with a job lined up in New York, she's determined to make her first visit back to Blue Isle a short detour on the way to her new life. But that plan didn't take into account her ex-best friend, Monica, being found floating face down in a pond the week of her return. Despite the turmoil that brewed between them and led to her branding as the town's pariah before her timely exit, Haley becomes determined to uncover the truth behind Monica's death. But that also means coming face to face with the ghosts of her past, like confronting her complicated relationship with Monica's boyfriend, Landon, the boy who'd wronged her all those years ago, and navigating an entangled friendship with her alluring ex, Boone. As Haley digs deeper into the mystery, old wounds resurface, and she realizes the answers to the present mystery might just lie buried in the past. That is, if she can solve it before it leaves her buried, too.

It's summertime in the idyllic New England town of Greyport, and Diana should be happy, but her twenties are proving to be more lackluster than she expected. Her career and social life are not where she wants them to be. Following a particularly dreadful date, Diana runs into an old friend; but this isn't any old friend. This is Delmar Lennox, her childhood crush and first boyfriend who left their hometown eleven years ago under mysterious circumstances. Can things go back to the way they were, or have they been too changed by mythical and human forces outside of their control?

Sarah Laker's memory is alive. Alive with the dead. Experiences of strange phenomena are the norm within 28-year-old Sarah's farmhouse. Armed with borrowed equipment, she sets out to prove the place is haunted. A haunting is easier to accept than the possibility that she's losing her sanity, just like her father, but with each passing day her grip on reality as she knows it slips a little further away. Sarah's old college friends, Duncan and Luke, provide her with support and relief from the never-ending worry. Bound together through grief at the age of eighteen, the prospect of becoming more than friends has always lingered in the background. Will friendship and the potential for romance be enough to set Sarah's feet on solid ground, or will she slide into madness like those who've gone before her? Set in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia during the final year of the twentieth century, some of these events are fictional and some are based in reality. The author leaves it up to you to wade into the haunting echoes of the world beyond our knowledge and decide which is which.

Nobody prepares you for the confusing struggle of parting ways with who you once were. If you're stubborn like me you'll try and fight it only to realize that you can't hold on to the broken girl that you once were if want to become a strong woman. These essays are a small reflection of my struggle when it comes to growing up, something that *evidently* isn't over once you turn eighteen. I hope that these musings can be helpful to anyone who's going through their awkward phase again (19-25). © briannasniknej
