24 hours in a day is way too little for Maya, as the demands of her home life, and senior year seems to be compounding on her at an infinite rate. On the other hand, Sam is on the top of the world, or at least he seems to be. The two have known each other better than anyone else in their entire life (and it helps that they have lived together for almost 6 years). As they grow, they grapple with the weight of time and trauma, clumsily stepping into their futures as they begin to wonder what senior year will bring forth. The truth is, there is no time like the present to learn how to put aside the what ifs, and make the best of whats now.

Not His Dream Girl
Maya Patel is just like any 25 year old. She goes to work, dates, hooks up with coworkers, and spends her lunch talking to her comatose best friend since middle school-Nick. The kicker is her very awake other best friend, Melissa, used to be Nick's finance before his motorcycle accident that landed him in his current state and now wants nothing to do with him-or, so she claims.

Will she be able to deny Nick's very tempting love in order to keep the peace?Complete
The Worst Part
Max is over her ex. And over relationships. Really. She is. Just because she'd been in love with him since she was 16, and they were literally moments away from getting married at one point, why wouldn't she be over Evan? After all, he left her at the alter and absconded with her "best friend", Andrea. Max may be over Evan, but the little town she lives in, Brush River, is anything but. The nearly 2,000 residents won't let her forget their golden couple status, let alone live down the saddest, most humiliating day of her life. And then there's Sam. He's not quite a resident of Brush River, but he suddenly shows up, and starts to make himself at home. Quiet, a loner, and unforgivably good looking, Max can't help but wonder about his story. Why is he all alone? Why is he so content fixing up her Uncle's old, dilapidated farm house? And why can't Max get him off of her mind? Besides, she's over her ex. And over relationships. Really. She is.Complete
Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
