(Formerly titled SPILL OVER)
"I'm not in New York.
I'm friends with a girl.
I'm living on a boat... with my dad...
At this point, I figure anything's possible."

When an assignment overseas gives Antony's Mom the opportunity of a lifetime, she sees it as a chance for Antony to get to know his dad - a guy strange enough to live on a boat. Near dreary Seattle. Antony's sure that the next few months will feel like a lifetime. He and his dad can't even fill up a five minute conversation on his birthday call.

Then he meets Amber, the girl from five boats down, and his prospects perk up. But when it becomes very clear, very fast, that all she's after is friendship, Antony wonders if he'll survive the next three months.

He is absolutely. Completely. Totally. Displaced.

And then tragedy hits.

The Impossibilities of Us by beedazzle

"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong language

Lovin' The Cowboy by singinitout

Sixteen year old Dakota Jenkins lives in Tennessee and is as country as they come. She has one girl friend and the rest are guys. Unlike most girls she'd rather go mudding than shop any day. One night at a high school party she plays truth or dare. She's dared to kiss her crush of 5 years, Jackson Smith, and fireworks go off. Not only do they go off for her but they go off for him too. They begin to like each other but there's only one problem. Jackson has a girlfriend. Not only does he have a girlfriend but it's with one of the most non-country and preppy cheerleaders you know Amanda Lane. The girl that Dakota just so happens to despise. You may think it's that easy to break it off with her but Jackson's and Amanda's parents are best friends and plan for them to get married once they are out of highschool. Dakotas feelings grow more and more everytime she sees Jackson. The real question though is does Jacksons feelings grow for Dakota as well? ***********This book is kind of like a spin off from College mom-to-be. You do not HAVE to read College mom-to-be first to understand this book because it has it's own story line. It's basically just the characters because the story is from the daughter's point of view now. If you DO plan to read College mom-to-be I would suggest reading that first though because it does give stuff away from that book. Anyways, hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!*********

Their world is all about red carpets, flawless public images, and staying in control. But Isla is anything but in control.

Her grades are slipping, the tabloids are watching, and the only people who seem to get her are her best friend Sasha, an aspiring director, and Luca, a musician who shares her reckless habits. Then there's Camila, the sharp-tongued artist Isla can't stop thinking about, even as she finds herself falling into something dangerous with Luca. As her world spirals, Isla is forced to confront painful truths-about her mental health, her sexuality, and whether she wants to live the life scripted for her or write her own. But breaking free means risking everything, including the love of the parents who never truly saw her. Would you like me to expand on any part-maybe add more about her friendships, family dynamics, or her journey toward healing?❤️‍🩹 She's a ♐️ her friends a Virgo ♍️ and a Pisces ♓️
