An introvert at heart, Elliot is more apt at observing and making commentary on the lives of those around him, analyzing everything to a fault, without actually making an attempt to live his own.  Enter Astrid; the impulsive and whimsical, daring and most passionate risk in his life who shows him that living in the moment has more rewards than he previously thought possible.  However when Astrid leaves on an impromptu backpacking trip across the country with her best friend who has returned from Europe, with two male friends in tow, Elliot finds his world in ruin and is thrust back into the monotony that he once found to be routine.

After suffering a concussion and having his extremely charming, wealthy and equally estranged cousin come to live with him, Elliot finds himself rediscovering a bond that once held them together.  After seeing Elliot avoid this moment in his life like he has so many others, his cousin decides to take them across the country in search of Astrid, and in search of the answers that Elliot seeks about what part she may play in his future, if any.

Hannah Montana is known for her kind heart and gentle nature, always willing to go the extra mile to make others happy. But her unwavering generosity becomes a double-edged sword when it comes to Nicholas Steele, her charismatic yet manipulative boyfriend. Despite his increasingly abusive behavior, Hannah finds herself unable to say no to him, believing that her love can mend his troubled soul. Nicholas, with his charming facade, exploits Hannah's selflessness to fulfill his every desire. From extravagant gifts to fulfilling his whims, Hannah sacrifices her own well-being to keep Nicholas content. Her friends and family grow concerned as they witness Hannah's gradual transformation from a vibrant young woman to a shadow of her former self, all in the name of love. As Nicholas's demands escalate and his manipulation deepens, Hannah finds herself trapped in a toxic cycle of giving and receiving nothing but emotional turmoil in return. Yet, she clings to the hope that one day Nicholas will change, holding onto memories of fleeting moments of tenderness that keep her tethered to the relationship. Meanwhile, Hannah's loved ones stage interventions, urging her to break free from Nicholas's grip before it's too late. But each plea falls on deaf ears as Hannah continues to believe in the power of her love to transform Nicholas into the person she desperately wants him to be. As the story unfolds, Hannah must confront the harsh reality of her situation: that true love does not demand constant sacrifice and that her own happiness should not be overshadowed by the needs of another. With courage and support from unexpected allies, Hannah embarks on a journey of self-discovery, discovering her own strength and resilience as she learns to break free from the chains of an abusive relationship and reclaim her life. ---

Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does. But that all changes... Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?
