Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

The Fake Girlfriend Effect by Sappy_sapphic_

When she finds herself broken up with by her girlfriend of two years, energetic and outgoing seventeen-year-old Cassidy Reed doesn't know what to do with herself for the summer. Initially, Cassie's summer is spent forcing herself out of bed for work, eating ice cream and stalking her ex's social media, and crying in her step-dad's old JSU hoodie while listening to songs her and Tess used to love. Then there's Katie. Seventeen-year-old Katie Lewis, a family friend who grew up with Cassie, was planning on spending her as she usually does; hanging out with her best friends (the Reed siblings), playing video games with Noah, pining over her other best friend Bella who she's liked for a few months now, and re-watching Pretty Little Liars with her dog Meatball- but everything changes the day she accidentally sends Bella-who's dating someone else, a text revealing her crush on her. Now, Cassie and Katie, with a history of old feelings for each other, must team up and pretend to date to make Cassie's ex as miserable as her, and to convince an otherwise skeptical Bella that Katie doesn't like her; but somewhere in that process? Old feelings begin to bubble and resurface.

yours. by lovesick-dreamer

two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]
