In a town where everything seems perfect, Alexa's so called "perfect" life showcases the skeletons everyone has in their closet.

Being a queer teenage girl is never easy but in the world of fake and faker, it's harder than expected. Will her unrelenting feelings for her best friend fade? Will her ex-girlfriend stick around a little longer this time? Or will the not so new girl manage to get Alexa's attention? 

Traumatic was never a word used in the small town of Rockland, Maine. A perfect life isn't traumatic. A coverup here and there never hurt anyone right? Wrong. What happens when the false identities fade and you're only left with the truth? How much and Who will you recognize? 

Fake it til you make it was the only possible route but when Alexa gets the chance to open her closet and let the skeletons fall out, will she? Or will she continue to keep up the facade?

Dive into the reality of a supposedly "perfect" life with "The Fourth of July and the Surrounding Events."

But after a recent fall, her grandmother needs a caregiver and as Dylan recently dropped out of college, she's the perfect girl for the job. So now, after years of deliberately staying far away, Dylan is back and determined to interact with the town, its people, and the tragedy that took place there as little as possible.

F***in' Arizona by melanatedmelon
56 parts Complete Mature
How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. 🙂 *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.

#908 in Teen Fiction '9/12/2016' #788 in Teen Fiction '18/1/2017' Life could be really tough. It could be sunshine-y and peachy but just like that, it turns upside down and everything falls apart like an avalanche. This is exactly what happened to Alexa Gray. Alexa was the school's sunshine, everyone loved her. Until she was diagnosed with stage 4 Leukemia, and her life went down the hill. She made a promise to herself to make the last 6 weeks of her life unforgettable. So, she makes a deal with the devil- school's badboy- himself; Noah Black. But, as all stories, the Matchmaker has to interfere. A Cancer Diagnosed Girl. A Badboy. And A Bet That Changes Their Lives. ------------------- Started: 14th of May 2016 Completed: 13th of September 2016 ------------------- Cover made by the amazing @Jenikel098 ------------------- DISCLAIMER!! This novel was literally written in 4 months when I was at the age of 14 trying to overcome my obsession with the fault in our stars (yes, I used to read the book at a bare minimum of 3 times per week, if not once daily). I decided to write my own version of it and as you can see, it turned out like this. If you choose to read it and find it silly that is because it's written by a 14-year old. So, please don't write hate comments or anything. Thank you all, have a nice time reading it!

When Nate agrees to babysit his aunt's esteemed matchmaking business, he doesn't expect a computer error to force him to pose as a fake match to one of her intolerable clients, Riley, creating a messy mismatch that might just turn perfect fit.

He assumes he's in for quiet days of cheesy love connections, but his world is flipped upside down when the matchmaking program is unable to find a match for Riley Jenkins. Terrified to tarnish his aunt's perfect matchmaking record, Nate takes matters into his own hands, posing as Riley's match.

What Nate doesn't expect is for his dream guy act to lead to cute dates and sparks of real attraction.

The Boys Of Echo Beach Vol. 2 by Nepenthe0000
12 parts Complete Mature
Georgia, now 18, returns to Echo Beach for the second time. However, instead of needing to choose between Connor or Will, she only has one person in mind. Someone that may very well despise her entirely, someone that she's barely spoken to, and someone that unbeknownst to her has felt exactly the same way long before she even realised her own feelings. Contains some smut. Recommend listening to the music. It'll help you get the vibe. Trigger warning for possible sensitive topics. P.s. If you enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty then I definitely recommend you read this. (Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form trying to offend anyone with any of the topics, events or language that may take place or be used in this book. Also, this is a work of fiction and only uses influences from The Summer I Turned Pretty. None of the characters from that show/book will appear. Only characters or themes similar to them. I simply made this because I am a fan.)
Good to You [Eddie Munson x OFC] by thatscalledyes
26 parts Complete
"I think you'd be good to me, and I'd be so good to you." It was the summer before her first year of college. The summer was an expansion of adventure waiting to happen. Cassie always swore that she was too broken to ever be loved after the emotional rollercoaster that life had taken her on. Despite her troubled past with her ex, Billy Hargrove, she finds herself falling for the rough edged metal head with a soft heart. As Cassie struggles to heal from her past with Billy, Eddie teaches her it's okay to allow someone in through the walls she has built around her. But when Billy tries to maliciously intervene in her new relationship, will she be able to withstand the pressure or crumble under Billy's clutch? Before you read: Thank you for reading! I am a former fan fic writer from the 2010s coming out of retirement solely for Eddie. This story occurs in modern day with some undertones of 80's pop culture. Some details in the story may differ from details in the show. I am aware that some things may not be accurate to the show and that is on purpose. All main characters are 18 or older. There is no Vecna (sorry Jamie) and no Upsidedown. Updates will be on Sundays and Thursdays. I hope you enjoy.
