A close friend of Theia Rosewell's stole her sight 3 years ago in a fit of rage. Who? She doesn't know. She'd all but given up on exposing the identity of her once trusted culprit - until she and life-long best friend, Gabriel Murray, wind up in a car accident. When they announce Gabriel to be dead, Theia can't let go of truth's exposure as she's done so many times before. She mightn't have had her eyes that night but that wasn't to say all of her other senses weren't perfectly intact. The skidding of another set of tires on the abandoned street; the click of the door opening as opposed to what police had claimed was wrenched off during the accident; the squeeze of fingers before he was gone with a shout as if in lieu of farewell. And what's more, she knew what her best friend felt like. The body found that was allegedly his, the one that no longer drew breath, it wasn't Gabriel. Theia knew he'd been taken that night by the only other driver on the road and she was going to recruit as many unlikely allies as she could with the sense she was missing to prove it. Blind or not, she knew the police were lying, and she was going to expose the truth for everyone to see. By Touch is a high-powered narrative of the hardships of love, sacrifice and loyalty; a tale of an embattled individual fighting against all odds to unearth the truth about both herself and those she thought she knew.

Jenna thought Glasgow was a second chance. Turns out, it's a 40 year experiment, and she's the variable they never saw coming. Jenna Hollins craves a quiet life. She's deaf. She's burnt out. And thanks to her brother, she's been dragged to a cozy Virginia town where the people are warm but wary-like they're throwing seasonal festivals to distract from something darker. Cyrus is steady. Charming. Protective. The boy who helps her navigate the life she never asked for. But when she starts slipping at home, and at school, the person who shows up isn't Cyrus. It's Nicholas. Cyrus's older cousin and best friend's emotionally unavailable brother. The one they all warned her about. Nick tells her the town isn't what it seems. That if she wants the truth, she'll have to stop trusting the system, and start trusting him instead. As the pressure builds, Jenna is forced to choose between two versions of safety: The boy who pulls her closer as she breaks, but won't speak the truth aloud... Or the boy who betrayed the people he loves-but trusts her with a secret that could destroy everything. **** ✨ Tropes / Themes: • Slow burn triangle • Disability rep (deaf MC + cochlear implants) • Found family & sibling bonds • Cozy and quirky small town vibes. Think Gilmore Girls if Stars Hollow had deep-rooted secrets • Academic pressure, mental unraveling • Quiet dystopia in a contemporary world
