Summers in the Caribbean are always full of surprises , but this one felt different.

Zinnia found herself alone in a hot, empty house after her mother left for a trip abroad with her favorite feline and beloved son in tow. But Zinnia wasn't surprised. Her mother had treated her differently for years now... and she'd long since stopped expecting anything else.

What Zinnia didn't know, though, was that one small action would set off a chain of unexpected events-ones that would turn not just her summer upside down...

The Summer I Started Drinking Wine. by acenerxoxo

This book is an original work of fiction by Reneca Donnell (Renni) All rights reserved. Please do not copy, repost, or adapt this story without my permission. Support original writers! Thank You! I didn't plan on healing that summer. I just wanted the wine to numb me not change me. But somewhere between heartbreak, secrets, late-night group chats, and wine in the bathtub... I stopped waiting to be chosen.. And started pouring for myself. Nia Carter was never the loudest girl in the room, but she was always the one with the loudest thoughts, especially when everything around her started shifting. Between her aunt's wild advice, friendships that cracked under pressure, the boy from back then, and the unexpected new guy who actually listens... this summer becomes one long, messy, soul-shaking reset. This isn't your typical love story. This is for the girls who've been left on read, cried in parking lots, poured their last glass, and still kept it cute. It's about choosing yourself.

Pretty Gyal, Mine by DaydreamWarii

I only went to Jamaica for a little vacation. Sun, beach, good vibes. That's all. I wasn't supposed to meet him. He was intense. Fine. The kind of man who makes your whole body feel weak just looking at him. We got close-too close, too fast-and before I knew it, I was falling. So I ran. I left without saying goodbye and went back to California like nothing ever happened. But he found me. He tracked me down all the way here, and he's not letting go. Now he's in my space, in my head, in my heart. And the craziest part? A piece of me wants him to stay, no matter how dangerous it feels.

It Began In Italy | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?

Before You Replied by darasstories

Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

The Moments I Recall by DISTANTDREAMER21

He looks out beyond the edge and I can't seem to pull my eyes away from him. He smiles and speaks, but I can't hear anything he says. Even so, the buzzing seems to grow quieter and quieter till it's just silence all around myself and him. I watch his mouth move as inaudible words flow from it into the air, and his hands open as he gestures while he speaks. I watch as he looks turns to look at me to be sure I am following along, and then his eyes just wait on me and his mouth stops moving. I watch him mouth my name and tilt his head to read me. There's nothing I can tell him. Nothing that wont change things, but if I keep this going things will change. "Xylia," He mouths again. ******************************************** Xylia doesn't remember any of it, she lived through it all and yet she can't remember. She must watch herself relive every choice and every mistake she had the first time to find herself again. It is the only way to save him from herself. All she knows is: This is a past life among hundreds of billions. Summer Camp changed everything. Her friends are dying and she doesn't remember how to save them. All that you see is her fault. **************************************** *:･。PART ONE - CAMP ORIGINS ★CH1-8★ *:･。PART TWO - BLACKBURROW HIGH ★CH9-19★ *:･。PART THREE - THE HOWS OF US ALL ★CH20-26★ *:･LAST PAGE ★CHARACTER AESTHETICS REVEAL★ COVER CREATED BY ★ @meha-k ★ *:･。 *TW* FLASHING IMAGES/ VERY MATURE THEMES/MILDLY SCARY SCENES

Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream.
