Kill the Lights
I got the cover form Pinterest lol. Like Never Judge A Musical Before You Hear It, this book takes place in an alternate reality, in the future. Starting in 2025, Alexander Hamilton meets his friends in college, but is life really as easy as going to class and trying to keep a boyfriend? Then, we meet Tristen Marters Lafayette, a main character, not a protagonist or antagonist, just a character, of the next few season after that. But is Tristen really just some soon-to-be trans teen, or something far more dangerous? Then we meet, a protagonist as we make her out to be, Olive Kropp. For her, are smiles and faked innocence really what makes a hero? Or is "fixing" a broken supercomputer? She may even be evil, but who's to say? Jeremy Heere and Michael Mell struggle to admit their strong feelings for each other just after an evil being was defeated. There's a war happening. A war where there's, the people you'd think would want the best for their country, are fighting against lgbtq+ Summer does not mean fun, for now, it means tragedy. When Veronica Sawyer is struggling through the last year of high school, a certain character appears then popular students start 'killing themselves' for whatever reason, but on the other side of school, Evan Hansen, kids who are struggling with depression are trying to fix this the right way, without bad publicity. As the war was won, it's up to these new risen founding fathers to rebirth the country their ancestors founded. What will happen? Who will die? Will the corrupt win, or somehow, even fool you, the reader? You'll have to find out for yourself.Complete

My Best Friend's Brother
"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!"

I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years.

And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman.
