Valerie desperately wants to be a ballerina, and she will do anything she can to make her dream come true. When she gets offered a spot to Sterling Prep Academy, she immediately takes the place. Once there, things don't look so good. She has the strictest teachers ever, homesickness takes its toll, her ballet mates are super-talented, and she has schoolwork on top of everything else. Not to mention the food is greasy and unhealthy, unfit for ballet. The worse things get, the more she practices and pushes herself. But can Finch, popular football wide receiver, help show her that she's working too hard? Or will she continue to shun herself away from him, denying herself the right to fun? Join Valerie as she experiences troubles and hardship, love and romance, and the importance of both hard work and a little fun.

Endearing
At Ashton Academy, a prestigious boarding school perched on the cliffs of California's coast, Veronica and her three childhood friends-Emilia, Lorenzo, and Matias-face a year that will challenge their friendships, dreams, and hearts. Veronica is a competitive ballet dancer, balancing the pressures of her parents' high expectations with her growing doubts about whether perfection is ever truly attainable. When Emilia, her closest friend and the cheer squad captain, begins dating Lorenzo, tensions rise within their tight-knit group. Lorenzo has always been at the center of Veronica's emotions-a mix of love, frustration, and longing that she's never fully admitted, not even to herself. As secrets, jealousy, and personal struggles bubble to the surface, the four friends navigate the complexities of growing up in a world of privilege, ambition, and unspoken truths. When Matias, who transferred to a rival school, re-enters the picture, the group must decide whether the bonds they've shared since childhood are strong enough to withstand the changes life throws their way. This is a story of resilience, heartbreak, and the messy, beautiful process of discovering who you are and what matters most. Ashton Academy may provide every luxury imaginable, but the real lessons these friends learn will come from each other.

What I like about you
Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does. But that all changes... Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?Complete
