"I'll call you Gin, like your drink."

Savannah Garcia regrets moving to New York. What was she thinking? Culinary school seemed like a good idea six months ago when she made the decision but it's tough to be in a big city with  endless bills to pay. She misses the beach back in Newport. She misses her parents and her sister and the comfort of her house. She expected New York City to be a fun adventure but so far, it's been anything but...that is until famous actor and model, Derek Collins, walks into her life...

Derek Collins is tired of listening to his best friend, Ian, talk about his stupid dating app. MATCH ME matches you to people around you based on a whole lot of systematics that Derek isn't interested in. On a night out with Ian at the bar, the crowd asks Derek to use the app and he obliges because he's a good best friend. So he takes out his phone and promises a date to whoever he is matched with. 

Funny thing, he didn't expect the rejection that he gets instead and he knows then that he really has met his match...

64 Pack of Juniper by novellacinderella

After three weeks of her high school sweetheart strangely acting like the biggest asshole towards her, Juniper's boyfriend breaks up with her and seemingly that's the end of that. Embarrassed, heart broken, and unsure what to do, Juniper says nothing to her friends about the breakup, not three days later when Abel makes it official by dropping off everything she ever gave him, and not two days after that when they're forced into each other's proximity for their friend group's weekly game night. Strangely enough, Juniper finds out that Abel has ALSO not said anything to his friends about the breakup. The biggest reason? Abel's best friend just so happens to also be Juniper's big brother. What would Hayden do once he found out about their breakup? Would he and Abel still be friends? Would Juniper WANT them to still be friends? They'd been friends twice as long as Juniper and Abel had dated. Hayden would drop Abel in a heartbeat for his sister, but he would be just as heartbroken as her. She didn't want that. But she didn't want to be stuck seeing Abel all the time after what he'd said to her either. Juniper agreed to not tell Hayden about their breakup until they were both ready. But that meant, they'd have to still act like a couple- like the couple they were before- in order for Hayden not to find out. As the 'pretending' goes on, and neither one of them seems closer to being 'ready', both Juniper and Abel start to wonder if Hayden is the only reason the other person won't let go.

Starting With You by AngieMahlke

Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**

Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy.

Please Don't Say You Love Me by strawberrymacaroon08

"You also think you know my 'type', do you?" I raised my fingers above my head gesturing for quotation marks. "Well then, let's hear it. What's my type?" He didn't say anything, just stared me down. I continued. "Say it. Is he smart, or funny, or romantic? You don't know anything about the kind of guy I'd want, Jai!" "Would you want a guy like me, Anaya? Would you?" "So what if I did?" ******** When Jai and Anaya, two perfect strangers, meet on a college tour, it's clear that Anaya wants nothing to do with him. After all, they didn't meet before this and they would never meet after. But then, they do meet again. And again. And again. Sometimes, two people don't work together on paper. If they're like Jai and Anaya, they don't seem to work in real life either. But no matter how hard two people push away from each other, the universe has a funny way of pushing them back. Inspired by Hum Tum and When Harry Met Sally 😁
