At 25, Lila Martin's life is not everything she wanted it to be. She's stuck with a job she hates at a call center, stuck with a degree in English that she feels like she will never use, and stuck in a non-relationship that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Despite the time ticking past, her life has been frustratingly stagnant for years. But when a family tragedy looms over her horizon, Lila realizes that she must face her dissatisfaction with her life head on. She owes it to her father and, more importantly, to herself to learn which things matter most.

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete
