Living the same routine everyday. Her boyfriend, or now ex boyfriend put her in an empty whole of nothingness. But Sydney was in love. Falling so hard she saw nothing else but him. Everything in her life was the blur of a common place.They would under go everything with each other. From eating breakfast together in the morning, to playing in the sheets at night. Her life was perfect. Everyday was a new day for Sydney. Of course when your 20 years old & withstanding a job at an aquarium what other option do you have? Evan made it exciting for her.

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.
