What happens when your dreams crash and the only person who can save you is the one who broke your heart? Seventeen-year-old Maya Chen hasn't sung a note since the humiliation that destroyed her confidence but when her estranged brother Josh returns with a beat-up RV and one last desperate shot at Nashville's biggest teen music competition, she faces an impossible choice: trust the brother who abandoned their family, or watch everything they love disappear forever. This isn't just any young adult road trip. As Maya and Josh race across America with only days before their family restaurant gets foreclosed, they rescue fellow dreamers running from their own broken lives: Sage, a classical piano prodigy fleeing controlling parents; Jamie and Jordan, twin musicians escaping their toxic stage mother; and Phoenix, a street performer hiding his painful foster care past behind beatboxing brilliance. Five strangers. One RV. A singing competition that could change everything. What starts as a desperate family mission becomes an emotional journey of found family, first love, and the courage to chase impossible dreams. But as the miles countdown to Nashville, Maya must confront her deepest fear: performing her truth in front of thousands, knowing that failure means losing everything her voice, her family, and the magical harmony she's discovered with four people who've become her chosen family. Perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park and Becky Albertalli's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda-a heartwarming, tearjerker young adult contemporary romance about music, family bonds, and finding your voice when the stakes have never been higher. Sometimes the most beautiful harmony comes from the most broken places.

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance)

43 parts Complete

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).
