I'm Normally Perfect (re-upload)
⚠️ Very important ⚠️ !!! This is a re-upload; I did NOT write this book. The author deleted their account. A brainy, awkward young American moves to England to attend Oxford University. She befriends a much older (historically heterosexual) female English professor. Over the years, their relationship evolves from one of protective friendship to something romantic, highlighting the difficulties and joys of age gap, lesbian relationships. 1,914 pages. (I'm not sure if this would count as Mature or not- it's borderline in some places later on, so I'm marking it so, just in case. It's certainly not HBO in here.) Please read the first chapter!! If the author will contact me, I'll delete the book immediately!! Author: BlakeVBurtonAbgeschlossene Geschichte

Fake It Till We Make It
In the bustling halls of Westbrook High, senior Emma Wright is known for her impeccable organizational skills, color-coded planners, and an ability to handle anything thrown her way-except the idea of showing up to prom alone. To avoid social disaster, Emma devises a foolproof plan: hire a date who can convincingly play the role of her perfect boyfriend. Enter Jack Cooper, the charming and carefree class clown, whose grades could use a little help. The deal is simple: Emma helps Jack with his studies, and in return, Jack pretends to be her loving boyfriend for the next few weeks. As they navigate the trials of their fake relationship-dodging nosy friends, skeptical teachers, and the ever-watchful eyes of social media-they start to see beyond each other's façades. Emma discovers that Jack's laid-back exterior hides a deep insecurity about his future, while Jack finds that Emma's obsession with perfection stems from her fear of failure. Their fake romance brings them closer together, leading to moments of unexpected vulnerability, witty banter, and laugh-out-loud situations.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
