Enya Woods has anorexia. She's in hospital getting treated for it, but she isn't getting better. Every day, she slips further and further into the depths of her illness and it seems like nothing will bring her back from the precipice. 

Until Henry Clark. An obnoxiously arrogant boy who everyone else apparently likes, but can only seem to get under Enya's skin. Yet, the more time they spend together, the more the ice that's been trapping her starts to melt. 

He begins to open her eyes to all of the things that her disease has taken from her. He begins to change her. 

Maybe there could be more to life than her illness.

Fragile Bones by edattilo

Madeline Winters. When people hear that name whispered in the halls of McGregor high school, they think one of two things: a quiet and somewhat awkward girl to pick on, or nothing at all. What no one realizes is that they're tearing her down with each hurtful remark. Cue Asher King moving into the school, acting as his surname immediately upon entering. With his tattoos, cigarettes and rough attitude, he's anyone but someone you would want to befriend. However, he also takes an interest in her that no one else ever has from the first glimpse into her empty eyes. What he doesn't realize is just how much of a shell she's become. *deals with eating disorders #1 on mental illness - 1/26/20, 7/8/20, 12/21/21 #1 on boy - 2/12/20, 1/4/23 #2 on bully - 4/1/20 #1 on high school - 7/6/20 #1 on sad - 8/16/20 #2 on sad - 11/5/21 #1 on funny - 8/18/20, 1/25/23 #1 on ed - 11/30/20, 12/19/20, 3/25/21 #2 on girl - 12/22/20, 11/30/22 #2 on acceptance - 1/7/21 #1 on abuse - 4/11/21 #2 on teen - 5/21/22 Completed November 1, 2021

Bex by KaylieR4

One girl. One boy. One life changing deal. "You change your mind?" He asked smugly as I walked over to him. "Before I agree to anything, I have one question." I crossed my arms "Ask away." He waved a hand lazily through the air. "What would you be getting out of this deal?" "I'll get you to fall in love with me." He smirked. "What?" I laughed. "The whole hard-to-get thing was cute at first, but now it's just annoying. I'll get to prove that you will fall for me like every other girl." "I always knew you were arrogant, but this is a whole new level of disgusting for you." I scrunched my nose up at the thought of me falling for him. "A few weeks and I'll have you swooning over me, Angel Eyes." He smiled and bit his lip. "Good luck with that." I rolled my eyes with a snort. "So, do we have a deal?" ************************* Meet Rebecca Woods. She's your average good girl- spotless report card, always does what she's told, and has never broken a rule in her life.

The Problem With Davy by continued

"Thank you for loving me." ❀ No one would think that the Davy Wade would die, much less, kill himself. He was the epitome of a good person. Some even thought he was the second coming of Christ. But when the shock and confusion of Davy's suicide consume his town, the only plausible explanation that people can think of is that his best friend, Eden McCalister, was the one that killed him. Eden, furious and devastated at the sudden news, climbs back into her cynical shell and curses the world for taking away the only person that she secretly loved. Her worried parents, afraid she might do something similar, send her to their local hospital for Therapy for Troubled Teens. Eden then is forced to be in a room full of people she thinks are completely insane. One of them being Davy's cold older brother, Dawson Wade. The teens in therapy slowly find themselves helping one another, as well as the connection between Dawson and Eden increase while coping with Davy's suicide, Senior Year, and their own reluctant attraction. ❀ "That was the thing about Davy. You never really knew what he was thinking. He always surprised you." ❀ illustrator: http://st-pam.tumblr.com/
