What the Fireflies Knew (Anna Shumate & Sabrina Quesada)
At Camp Rockwell, the lake isn't the only thing heating up this summer. Sabrina Quesada is a headstrong leader with a clipboard and a five-year plan- definitely not the type to fall for her reckless new co-counselor and bunkmate, Anna Shumate. But when the senior counselors kick off a secret summer bucket list full of dares, adventures, and late-night escapades, Sabrina finds herself reluctantly teamed up with Anna again and again. Between prank wars, midnight swims, and sparks that won't quit, their rivalry begins to blur into something messier- and far more dangerous. But when the campers discover that Camp Rockwell might not survive past this summer, everything changes. Faced with the possibility of losing the place they all call home, the counselors rally together to pull off a chaotic, heartfelt talent show fundraiser that could be their last shot at saving Rockwell. With the end of the season looming, Sabrina and Anna must decide: was it all just a game, or did they find something real at the bottom of the bucket list?

My favourite enemy ( gxg intersex )
Katie and Luna are the leaders of two rival high school cliques: the Greens and the Reds. And they absolutely can't stand each other. Every week, they get into intense fights. When Luna has Katie in a tight grip from behind, or when Katie manages to straddle Luna and climb on top of her, their faces inches from each other and bodies almost merged. It's quite the rivalry, isn't it? At least that's what Katie tells herself. Because, how else can she explain this overwhelming urge to be so close physically to her enemy, while her boyfriend is the hottest and most popular guy in school and she should be gravitated to him not to her mortal rival. Every character in this story is over 18 years old. Be careful this story contains: Profanity Smut Violence Abuse Disclaimer: This is an enemies‑to‑lovers story, and it includes a lot of toxic behaviour from both main characters, especially in the beginning. If that's something you're not comfortable with, I genuinely recommend stepping away and protecting your peace. All of their toxic traits, and the deeper reasons behind their actions, will be explored and explained throughout the book. Their behaviour isn't meant to be romanticized, it's something they will actively work through and grow from as the story progresses. This isn't just a light high‑school story, even if it might seem that way at first. There are a lot of traumas and psychological layers hidden underneath, so please approach with caution. And please don't expect the characters to be perfect - they're messy, and that's the point. But if you give the book a chance, you'll understand why.Complete
