𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗔𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁・❥・Maddy Perez & Nate Jacobs, Euphoria
"𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡." Iris has always known how to survive. At eighteen, she's everything East Highland thinks she is-reckless, untouchable, the girl with a reputation she doesn't bother correcting. She laughs louder, bites back harder, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what's underneath. By day, she's just another senior counting down the days until graduation. By night, she becomes someone else entirely-someone who dances for money, not attention. Someone who does whatever it takes to keep a roof over her head and her little sister safe. No one knows the truth. Except Maddie. Maddie Perez has always been there-closer than anyone, closer than Iris ever lets herself think about. Their friendship has never had boundaries. It's messy, magnetic, and blurs lines Iris refuses to define. Because defining it would mean risking it. And then there's Nate Jacobs-the one habit Iris never managed to break. Toxic, consuming, and impossible to ignore, he knows exactly how to pull her back in. With him, it's chaos. It's fire. It's everything she's learned to mistake for love. Caught between something real and something familiar, Iris is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: Maybe love isn't supposed to hurt. Maybe the hardest thing she'll ever have to do... is choose something soft.
All the Things I Left Behind
Claire Holloway had lived her life by a promise---to make sure her mother never had to give another fiber of her being to anyone but herself, no matter the cost. Twelve years, countless all-nighters, and a degree in psychology later, she's finally made it. But when a phone call drags her back to her small hometown, Claire realizes that the life she built in the city might have been the biggest mistake of her life. Claire must face the deafening reality that all her work had been for nothing. Charlie Bennett is no stranger to loss. Her marriage is now, or she should say has always been, shattered. Her daughter barely looks her in the eye, and the quiet of her house feels heavier than the fists she's endured in her life. When her daughter unexpectedly returns, Charlie's fragile world begins to crumble under the weight of her daughters hatred towards her--and so does her heart when she crosses paths with someone she never thought she'd see again. Years ago, Claire was Charlie's student---the girl with too many dreams and not enough time to chase them. Now, they are two women standing at the edge of a life neither of them chose for themselves. What begins as an unexpected reunion turns into something far deeper than they could've expected. As old boundaries blur and long-buried emotions resurface, Claire and Charlie must decide whether love can heal the wreckage of their lives -or if some things are better left behind.
