Jack and Kyle Kemper are identical twins with opposite personalities. Dreaming, quiet Jack is far different from his popular, "normal" brother.  When a tragic accident befalls Kyle, the blame is placed upon Jack and his imaginings, and what results is a regimen of medicine to bring him closer to the real world. Kyle becomes resentful and bitter, and Jack is thrown into a dull reality from which he can't escape. As the rift between the brothers widens, their family struggles to stay in tact, and it is only when a partially-blind music teacher and a hyperactive girl conspire to help Jack that the gathering storms abate. Given new hope from people who can fully comprehend him and pulling himself out from under the oppression of his medication, Jack realizes that it is up to him to show his brother what exists beyond the realm of rationality in order to put things right.All Rights Reserved

Fractured Fire and Ice by Ari12_2

Lily Carson is a creative whirlwind with a mind that never slows down-thanks to her ADHD-and a heart that craves adventure. Navigating college life while managing her unpredictable nature isn't easy, but with her best friends Emma and Tyler by her side, she's making it work. That is, until she crosses paths with Damien Kang, a cold and calculating tech mogul who's used to getting exactly what he wants, both in business and in life. At 27, Damien is everything Lily isn't: controlled, ruthless, and haunted by his own demons, including the bipolar disorder he keeps hidden beneath his icy exterior. When their worlds collide, the seven-year age gap between them feels like a chasm, but the sparks that fly are impossible to ignore. Drawn together by fate, yet divided by their contrasting natures, Lily and Damien embark on a tumultuous journey where passion meets resistance, and the lines between love and obsession blur. As they both struggle to balance their inner battles, they'll discover that sometimes, the person who challenges you the most is the one who can set you free. In a world of power dynamics, deep-seated fears, and fierce loyalty, can these opposites attract-or will their differences tear them apart?

A Stupid Girl's Book Of Dreams by rottingcrystal_riot

Nobody wants to read a sad story. Maybe indulge in an article of something tragic, and that's all it will ever be. Do you remember the sad stories? Do the tragedies mark the brains of the world as core memories? Or do they simply remain stories, a void in the universe made from a person's lifelong suffering that will be instantly forgotten. But never by the sufferer. This is a sad story, one about a girl. It stays that way, for a long time. Don't worry, she doesn't end the story stuck in tragedy. Imagine the pain of not a soul to pour your heart out to. instead of letting it go, you relive it in your head at every lonely hour, aching and crying, your heart begging to let someone else in, to make the weight of the secret lighter. The pain of trying to keep all of that pain to yourself? It's like feeling it all again and again, killing you from the inside out. The weight of a secret, and the fear of what will happen once someone, just one person knows. Sierra James was seventeen years old and had just begun her junior year of high school. Her father was a cruel man, and her mother had been dead since she was a child. There was nobody there for her, and it was the loneliest, most painful feeling in the world. Until, that is, a troublesome boy with reckless priorities (and could easily get Sierra killed) comes into the picture, and she sees her life either beginning to look up, or come crashing down at a rapid pace.
