"Evan, you can't control me all the time" Willa exclaimed, her voice laced with anger and hurt all in one. "Why can't I control you? I'm in love with you. I want to always be there for you and protect you" Cupping Evan's face with her hand, she felt his familiar stubble poke her palm as tears fell down her flushed cheeks. "Because I'm my own person, love doesn't mean you have to hurt me all the time" Love is intoxicating; it's one of the most powerful feelings in the world but it is also one of the most painful feelings too. Willa and Evan are not a good match, most could say they are toxic for one another so can they truly be together happily?

Typical Secrets by asli-p1t

Two seniors that only have one thing in common, going to the same school. They hate each other because of their friend groups and past. As the two seventeen-year-old get forced to hang out together, things turn more and more complicated. Alissa wonders if Ryder still remembers or if she's just the one holding on to bad memories with him. She has always had a thing for him, but has he had a thing for her? Ryder was a part of the bad boy groups, the stoners that hung out outside of stores or outside of the school. His friends were annoying and always tended to mess with the girls. He's one of the more quiet kind but continues hanging out with them. Alissa is a part of the quiet group, that doesn't mean that she doesn't stick up for herself or argues with people least every day. She hangs out with at least two girls every day because she has no one else to stick with. She didn't mind, she didn't necessarily need many friends. People didn't like her because of her ways of saying the truth whenever it needed to be told. But this isn't your typical sassy and bad boy story, not at all. This book contains ; - body shaming. - toxic family. - purposely starving herself. - mature language - anxiety; anxiety and panic attacks.

Thrown together by family dinners and workplace dynamics, they must navigate the boundaries of age, culture, and expectations. Can Beighlee overcome her fears, and will In-Su prove that love knows no limits?

He Taught Me How To Find Myself by GabbyBhengu

"You did Maths Ada, and you're smart. Langa and you are so fucking negative. Two negatives make a positive, so like I said, you two deserve each other" ●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●° I always lived my life the way people wanted me to live it. After watching "The Princess Diaries" I realized that my life was controlled, I've been told how to live it. One day I decided to break the rules, I also wanted to feel the adrenaline they described in books. I was sick of living in someone else's story through books, it was now the time to create my own. ...who knew that all it took to finding yourself was a cute waiter at "Vue Sur l'océan"

Extra Credit by Xmintflake

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity. Sure, she and her boyfriend had minuscule issues, but which logical relationship didn't have their occasional ups and downs? After landing in Extra Credit class due to a series of mishaps with her grades and attendance, Dallas's turmoil became despair when she became paired with one of the most eccentric people in the entire class. Seriously. Who wore sunglasses to school, much less indoors? When weeks turned into months of working together, series of back-and-forth message threads started to hit closer and closer to home. Suddenly, Dallas realized that maybe her life wasn't as idyllic as she was previously led to believe. || Completed 2023 ✔️ || ©ReeseTory2022

Iridescent by teekaye_

"Because it was easier that way. Pretending. But as they say, you can't pretend forever." . . . . . . . Jai Khurrana had it all - money, fame, awesome friends, cool parents and what not! Perfect? Iridescent. When you delve deeper into a person's life, you realize that things are not usually like they seem to be. Sometimes, the most 'perfect' people are the ones that are the most fragile and imperfect. //EDITING// "I love this book so much and as I said before it's so light and makes your heart flutter and grin wide. I really needed this after a long day at college❤❤" - ScribbledThoughts96 "Damn, you are so talented!! I'm literally IN LOVE with your characters, they make me so happy!" - VioletWei

The True Bond by ericahazza

Erica Davis did not have her life planned out like her friends did . If it was up to her , she would just leave her house and go work in a water park in Australia , but it is not up to her. She has been fighting for a place in her house and trying to find her existence and importance in her chaotic mind and in the middle of this all, she takes out some time to obsess over Will Grayson who seemingly had a perfect life . Will Grayson, to everyone , just seemed like the perfect topper. A lean guy with non framed glasses and calm temper. But Will does not care about the things happening in his life or about what others are constantly saying about him, he just likes to keep moving forward , without caring , without feeling . This is their story and how they both survived and came out of many dark abysses that circled their life.
