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."

Willow Romano on the other hand loves it. She has the perfect life. Not once in her life did she have to lift a finger to do any kind of work. Coming from a wealthy family meant that she was born into a life of privilege and luxury. She had access to the best education, traveled around the world in private jets, attended extravagant parties, and never faced any financial struggles. Despite all these material comforts and societal privileges, Willow Romano found herself yearning for something more meaningful in life. Deep down inside she felt a sense of emptiness that no amount of wealth or extravagance could fill. She needed something or more so, someone.

She was taught a more practical skill by her much older brother. Carpentry, constructing large buildings and even wiring electrical work has kept her sane for the last ten years. Now it's time for her to leave home, rejoin society and leave her sordid past behind. She gets a job through her brother and moves from the Providence, Rhode Island, venturing to West Texas and quickly falls in love with the land. What Kenna hadn't anticipated was her new boss.

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. Standalone in the Mismatched series *** A small-town summer spent matchmaking desperate couples is Nate's worst nightmare, but he's desperate for a little cash and a chance to prove to his family that he isn't a complete failure. 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. Faced with the fear of falling for Riley for real, can Nate confront the consequences of his lies for a shot at love? Or will their mismatch be a costly mistake after all?
