In an effort to escape all the people and places that reminded her of her terrible decision, Faith Fletcher was willing to go to the ends of the earth (or at least to bright, sunny California). Going that far away for college seemed like the perfect chance to Faith to start over, but even the best laid plans of mice and madams often go awry. As she tried to move on, her feelings of shame kept pulling her backward, forcing her to deal with her error again and again. What she wanted was forgiveness, but how could she expect anyone to forgive her if she couldn't forgive herself?

Allison Monroe thought she understood love. In high school, it looked like Cooper Hayes-a senior lacrosse player with a grin that could tilt the world. What started as friendship slipped into something more, a talking stage stitched together by football games, playlists, and dreams of Brown University. They fit like puzzle pieces, but before the picture could ever be whole, they drifted apart. At Brown, fate brought them back together. Allison had grown into her own life-journalist, leader, dreamer-yet every crowded party and quiet glance pulled her back into Cooper's orbit. Their connection was undeniable, but so were the obstacles: old wounds, unspoken words, and Kelsey, the girl who always seemed to come first. Caught between the gentleness he taught her and the ache of never being his first choice, Allison learned that love is not always about endings-it's about the echoes left behind. A bittersweet coming-of-age story about heartbreak and resilience, about what it means to love someone you can't quite have, and how to choose yourself even when your heart wants to stay. Intimate, raw, and achingly relatable, it asks the question: what do we do with the love that lingers?AlmostComplete![[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403535900-256-k912889.jpg)
[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS
They say that in life, we all have three great loves. The first arrives in adolescence-innocent, filled with dreams and illusions. The second teaches you pain, and you cling to it even knowing it was never meant to be. It's the kind of love you once wished would last forever, but instead, it helped you grow. The third love is the one you never saw coming. You let it happen without expectations-just you, allowing yourself to be surprised. It's the love that heals old wounds and makes you genuinely happy. It's the love that teaches you how to love for real. It's the true one. This story is dedicated to all those still carrying wounds from that second love. Don't be afraid to move forward. Don't shut your heart, even if it's in a thousand pieces. Something better is coming.Complete

Everything that happened since September
Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful ownersComplete
The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete
