Erika Gonzales is getting better but her best friend thinks otherwise. With a Sharpie-scribbled phone number she copied from the back of a restroom door cubicle, Paula Rivera is determined to solve two problems at once:
1. Help Erika graduate on time by (finally) passing Math 11, and 2. Distract Erika from the almost year-long heartbreak of getting over Gab Rallos--with a complete stranger, romantic-wise or not.
Jasper De Jesus, on the other hand, is on a mission to get Corinne Soliman back. The last thing he needs is to tutor someone he barely knows: the girl he remembers as the one who accidentally spilled her drink on him at Walrus, on the night of the break up.
When Erika and Jasper finally agree on an arrangement that involves a lot of long nights at the library and writing letters to the one that got away, they form a friendship that could be something more; if only they knew how to make the past stay behind them for good.

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick / 2025 Wattpad Pride Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*Lengkap

NANOWRIMO 2019, LET'S GO! :) U.S Army veteran Alessio Milani never asked for the hand fate dealt him. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, which led him into the depths of NYC's criminal underground. Now, as director of the infamous smuggling and counterfeiting syndicate known as "The Flight," he commands respect from his people with a just but iron fist, operating with only a few cardinal rules: 1) Keep it clean. 2) No dealing in people. 3) Never touch women without their consent. Alessio takes care of violators personally. He never desired marriage. Considering his clandestine (and illegal) profession, the notion never crossed his mind. The less people known to be associated with him, the less individuals he puts at risk. He finds himself at the altar, however, with a shy bride because his best friend, Thaddeus Andino, asked Alessio to protect his niece...and, well, Alessio's instincts kicked in, and he couldn't say no. He doesn't know how he's going to make this work, and neither does Vasilisa Andino--nay, Vasilisa Milani. Alessio tries to keep her life separate from his as much as possible...but Murphy's law seems to rule differently. Only God knows what'll happen next.Lengkap
Kaylee, Logged On
Who can you really trust online? Kaylee Dawson had been asking herself that question from the very beginning but, every time she did, Trey Harvey seemed to easily answer it. Their trust is put to the test when Kaylee's health and life are placed on the line, and Trey demands that she runs to his safe, open arms. Betting her entire life on the chance he's trustworthy, Kaylee packs her bags and leaves everything she's ever known to make a break for the one person who learned to love her before they ever saw her. But maybe there's more to Trey than she thought. Maybe she isn't the only runaway. The question then is not if you trust people online, but how much? ✦ rankings ✦ #12 in nanowrimo2016 #331 in poet #562 in youngadultreads #552 in teenfictionromance - competed ✧ june 30, 2017Lengkap

She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.Lengkap

When, months later, she is rescued, it isn't to return to the life she once knew, but to one she's wholly unprepared for. She scrambles for a grasp on things as legend and reality blend. Should she let the legend play out to its foregone conclusion? Or should she try for a happily ever after for all, and the consequences be damned... *This is my 2016 NaNoWriMo project, so enjoy and as always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.*Lengkap
