The Summer I Started Drinking Wine.
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. And loving what happens after. Forty chapters. Four parts. One unforgettable summer. All rights reserved.

Before You Replied
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.
