Melanie Nova is the nerdy girl that sits in the back of the class. The girl that distances herself from everyone because she doesn't think she is good enough for anyone. She thought she was content being a loner in oversized clothing, that is until she met the new jock, Matthew Montey.
.........................
All Matthew wanted was to play basketball, he didn't want the "popularity" and the attention of more than half of the school's entire female population. When Matthew's family moves, he meets an intriguing girl who flips his entire world upside down.

Our Differences
Chloe Jefferson: rich, popular and fashionable. Her life seems perfect. Why wouldn't it be? She had the most popular friends in school, all the students cower before her and she's got the highest position on the school social ladder. But even someone as perfect as Chloe has a secret, one that she'd try to keep hidden at all costs. Felicity Bloom was labeled a nerd from day one at Evermore High for sticking her nose in books instead of socializing with her peers. She ignores the taunting that came with being made an outcast, seeking solace within the pages of her favorite novels. No one had ever thought that strange, quiet Felicity had once been so vastly different. When fate forces both teens to unravel their secret pasts to each other, they learn that they're more alike than they realize. And with that mutual understanding between them, an unlikely friendship is born. P.S. This is not a lesbian story so I'm sorry if the description gave that impression.Complete

Sincerely, Nova ✓
[completed] Nova Carter knows exactly what the next few years of her life will look like: she will work harder than anyone else (as she didn't get into New York University to slack off); she'll be keeping her head down and prioritizing getting her affairs in order; and she'll ultimately make her parents proud by being the living proof of anyone with a disability being able to make their dreams come true. Little does she know that her carefully planned path is about to take a detour into the extraordinary. After all, she hadn't quite anticipated befriending the son of famous billionaire Sergei Macarevich on the first day of her orientation week, nor meeting the son of equally famous billionaire Hudson Wilder that same night. And she definitely hadn't anticipated tumbling right into the inner circle of New York's elite (disability, clumsiness, inexperience and all). As Nova navigates this new life, she finds herself forming an unconventional family around her. With her childhood best friend by her side, Nova immerses herself in the lives of her newfound wealthy friends, an exuberant roommate, and a spirited group of NYU's disabled rebels led by their eccentric counselor - finding love in forms she'd never dreamed of on her way. A romantic, heart-warming and diverse coming-of-age with a Spotify playlist and characters' social media posts.

A New Reflection
Natalia Stevens is smart, nice and shy-and this is exactly how everyone sees her.

Despite the apparent chemistry developing, she struggles to believe there is anything between them. Before she can make sense of it all, volleyball season is winding down, and it appears her mystifying crush will be out of her life for good. Natalia enters university just as socially petrified as she had been in high school, but new experiences with friends, booze and boys open up a surprising world of possibility. She realizes she can talk openly to other people for the first time, and this exhilarating discovery fosters a newfound confidence she thought she might never uncover in herself. Along the roller coaster ride of thrilling and frustrating crash-and-burn encounters with various crushes, however, there is one guy Nati can't seem to shake from her mind.Complete
