How do you decide what's worth fighting for?

While on a student exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland, writer Josephine Hughes takes a job at Starbucks to help pay her bills. It's a great job; she meets lots of new people and makes friends with her regulars. One in particular, however, has caught her eye.

Louis Davidson is an Edinburgh native, a baker, and a student at the University of Edinburgh. Every morning at precisely 7:20 AM, he comes in and orders the same thing-but it quickly becomes apparent that Lou is not there for the coffee.

Jo struggles with allowing herself to be vulnerable, hiding her name from Lou as a defense mechanism, and Lou pursues her relentlessly, hoping to eventually coax her out of her shell. Soon, however, they realize that Lou has deep-seated issues of his own. As Jo and Lou fight their own battles, they navigate the rough waters of relationship, seeking to answer one simple question:

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul by gemmalanebooks

Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

Potentially You and Me (Two Truths and a Lie) by lalalalawriting

★ NOW PUBLISHED! ★ What do you get when you add the ultimate meet cute + a bruised head? = A whole can of heartbreak. It all starts in aisle three. Lacie O'Connor prefers to see the world in black and white, logical, rational, and natural, like her biology major. She just wants to survive her freshman year of college, but first she must find a can of peas. Instead, she gets hit on the head with a box of cake mix. Trent Montgomery is all saturated and technicolor even in the maroon employee polo. Lacie thought she left him and his sheepish smiling friend at the grocery store but finds him in her most dreaded class: Intro to Philosophy. He sits next to her, and it's all PLATOnic until he presses his foot up against hers. That's all it takes for her to get lost in the philosophy of Trent. What starts out as sidewalk conversations soon leads to study sessions that transform to cuddle sessions that transform to make-out sessions. But just before winter break, Trent steps back. He dodges her texts. He kisses her in private but blows her off in public. Lacie knows miscommunication and mixed signals spread like an invasive plant species, but what she can't figure out is which version of Trent is real. The one she met in aisle three, or the one who likes to get drunk in dorm building basements. © 2015 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting © 2019 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting |Edited/NEW| © 2022 Published version All Rights Reserved |Third Place Winner in #Readytoreadya2018 Young Adult Reads Contest|

And maybe for these ten college students, it really is. In their own story, they're the main character who gets hurt. But in someone else's story, they might be the bad guy or just a passing moment. One thing for sure is everything is connected with one another in a complicated mix of love, heartbreak, jealousy, and misunderstanding. In the end without each other's awareness, who will hurt who? Can they pick up the pieces and fix whom they break? Cover by @SylicateGrazie with Canva

With You by meddlingkids

"What should I call you then? Sebby? Bash? Bastian?" "Don't refer to me at all." College is not what Sebastian Georges expected.

From the mysterious boy who reads at every morning practice, to the girl who seems to stick to him like glue, Sebastian has a lot of learning to do at college. And none of it has to do with economics. Okay, maybe a little. [Spin-off from Caffeine, can be read as a stand alone]

The Coffee Pact by officialrachaelrose

The Way I Loved You ✓ by njhpiper

She'd die for love. He didn't believe in love. *** From reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, to watching 10 Things I Hate About You, to listening to You are in Love by Taylor Swift, Emily Kingsley's life is a sum of moments she has spent after romance. Watching, reading, listening or daydreaming, romance has never failed to comfort this high school junior of 17 years of age. She has her own issues: self-sabotage, lack of focus in studying, randomly popping up acne and not loving the way she looked. But she could forget all that as long as she is reading about two people falling in love and finding their happily ever after. Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school. According to Emily, Landon is handsome, sophisticated, well-spoken and unlike any of the immature boys of her class who didn't get her at all. Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance. At the same time, her seatmate in chemistry, the rumored delinquent, grumpy asshole Nathan Callahan, makes fun of her romantic dreams. Can Emily ever find true love? Completed. A fun romcom that will make you scream and squeal and blush!
