WATTYS 2023 & 2022 SHORTLIST | 

Stella Donahue is in dire need of a fresh start.

A break. Away from the college town that's shunned her, away from the place she once called home. Her salvation comes in the shape of an old family friend's lake house and the promise of a summer all to herself. Not to forgive. Probably not to forget - no matter how hard she tries. But to continue to heal.

The surprise comes in the shape of Jacob Wilson.

Suddenly, with her somewhat estranged childhood friend living down the hall, Stella's summer of solitude becomes anything but. Though, maybe, reconnecting with Jake is exactly what she needs.All Rights Reserved

Not good for you by mandydelaney

"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me. "You were never just a summer fun to me." He stared into my eyes and I felt exposed because I might have developed some feelings for him that I've never wanted to face. Heddy Lopez has just barely graduated and is trying to find the purpose of her life when her friends take her away for the summer before they go on separate ways. Little did she know that an old crush and complicated relationships would cross her way again making her last high school summer completely different than she'd expected it to be. Secrets, heartbreaks, and empty promises siege her over and over again. And they never seem to stop. But how much an already broken heart could take before fully giving up?

Bayside by abik3726

Four friends - JJ, Alexis, Maddox, and Aaron - have been best friends in the small coastal town of Bayside since they were children. Their inseparable bond felt more like family than anything. When JJ's mother, a longtime heroin addict, vanishes just weeks into summer, everything they used to cling to - long afternoons surfing, nighttime bonfires, and cozy sleepovers - begins to unravel. As JJ struggles to cope with his mother's addiction, he meets Carly, the new girl whose unrelenting desire to understand him forces him to confront his fear of being loved. Alexis, who's been in love with JJ for as long as she can remember, watches their connection deepen from the sidelines. Aaron tries to keep the group together in his typical carefree ways, but even steadfast Maddox begins to suffer from secrets he refuses to name. Bayside is an emotional coming-of-age story about the weight of addiction and the ways that sometimes, love just isn't enough.

He's the captain of the swimming team in the most exclusive school in the country and he's got a crowd of friends and family cheering him at every step. But there's still something keeping him awake at night. Although he is extremely privileged, something is missing. Or rather, someone.

But she doesn't need a man, and Will's attempts at wooing her aren't getting him anywhere. Enter McKenzie. Vanessa's childhood friend is not someone Will would befriend. She doesn't take life too seriously and he can't make sense of her. He soon realizes that she's more trouble than help in his quest to make Vanessa fall in love with him. His goal? Get McKenzie out of the equation and seduce Vanessa into his loving arms. He's yet to find out that the task might not be as easy as he thinks. 🧡🧡🧡 Start: 18/12/20 End: 26/08/21
