20-year-old Thomas doesn't like anybody during his year abroad - or in general - except his roommate and best friend Errol, a future movie star and the not-so-secret love of his life. After living together in Brussels, the two set out on an extraordinary summer odyssey across Europe that stretches the nature of love, friendship, and dependence - until fame, fortune and the real world get in the way. If you've ever wondered what's really going on inside the mind of an introvert - or if you've struggled to explain it to someone else - you won't want to miss this deeply personal (and darkly humorous) look into the true nature of personality and human connection.

The House
A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.

How to beat a perfect extrovert magnificent person? Not a single flaw compared to us, introverts. Bree is perfect. Who in the world would choose a flawed but unique introvert rather than a goddess, a princess who is just perfection? This is the first book of an amazing sequel. It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?
