Jaime has two best friends, Hannah and Jess, but she also has  aspirations of someday sitting at the cool table in the school cafeteria. She loves life and adventure and prides herself in being a daredevil.  Jaime's uncomplicated innocence is shattered early in the seventh grade when she undergoes a traumatic experience, becomes ill and is forced to miss three months of school. During this time she recognizes the face in the mirror less and less as she struggles to hold on to the image of herself as a brave daredevil.  The reader is welcomed inside Jaime's head and heart as she deals with the scary reality of living with Graves Disease. Jaime is frank and honest about how it feels to lose sight of the healthy girl she was.When she returns to school, she discovers the worst of the experience has yet to come. While she was out, rumors had abounded about where she was, and why she was gone. She finds herself in a very different place, socially -  the cool table not only seems impossibly far away now, it's no longer even a thought in her head. The only thing she can think about is getting through each day - the teasing and name calling - and getting back to the safety of her home.  By the end of the book, Jaime comes to realize that all she really needs to survive the treacherous journey of middle school is the love and support of her family, a true, strong belief in herself and one good friend.  For those who have been through similar experiences, Jaime's journey may be comforting. For others, perhaps it will be eye-opening - shedding light on the ramifications of one's words and actions.All Rights Reserved

My Unheard Story: A Journey of Self-discovery by Swetaa27_

In high school, a girl felt invisible, haunted by bullying over her crooked teeth. Her smile, once a symbol of joy, became a target for cruel jokes, making her believe she was *less* than everyone else. She struggled to find her place, until she met him. He was a senior, someone she had seen around but never spoken to. At first, she didn't believe someone like him could notice someone like her. But their paths crossed in tuition classes, and they became unlikely friends. He valued her as a person, respecting her feelings and making it clear he saw her as just a friend. Though she hid her feelings, their connection deepened through playful conversations and mutual respect. He helped her grow confident, teaching her that self-love and standing up for herself were key to owning her power. Their bond, built on trust and understanding, wasn't a typical romance, but it transformed her. She learned to believe in herself. When he graduated and their paths diverged, she watched him leave, grateful for the journey they had shared. It wasn't the love story she expected, but it was the one she needed-one that helped her find herself and realize her worth.

His Sweet Lies by cottoncandii

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide

In Another Life by Heyitsawriter663

Fresh out of rehab and still fighting demons, Jasmine doesn't expect to be seen or heard and she's hoping it stays that way because she's falling quickly and she can't afford to have anyone break her landing. But what she doesn't realise is that Sebastian Moore has been in love with the beautiful girl whose smile never quite reached her eyes for two years and if there's one thing he won't do - it's quit on her. This is a love story, I'll tell you that much. But if love were enough to hold a relationship together then some people would never break apart and that's something Jasmine and Sebastian are about to learn. The funny thing about fate is that you can deny it, push it and fight it as much as you want but at the end of the day all you can really do is pray and hope that in another life, you get everything you deserve. WARNING - This book contains scenes depicting: Sexual abuse, drug abuse, depression, anxiety, physical abuse and probably some more things that I'm forgetting as I write this so read with caution.

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓ by partiallyprecarious

Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?' "the fact that this book isn't just a book. it's a life lesson it teaches us the importance of friendship on how to be grateful that most of us live comfortable lives this book is such a masterpiece and deserves to be more recognized" - @voidtonkin "No book has changed or influenced me as much as this. Marley has inspired me to be more kind, forgiving and mature. Aiden has taught me to look for all the small things. Gabby showed me that real friendship is standing up for the other no matter what. Every book I read is a part of who I am, and this is one of the biggest parts.

Couldn't sleep until I finished this." - @justwonderfulbaby "You have such a beautiful and unique way with your words, I love this story so much and it and you deserve so much recognition. It's beautiful." - @hayleysfault ☼ partiallyprecarious, 2018

Chasing the Boy by adeterding

When Jaime - newly high-school-liberated girl- meets Gregg - beautiful college boy - she couldn't be more smitten. He is a dream come true and something about their meeting has the feel of fate. They talk about traveling the world, future ambitions and the importance of family, among other philosophical issues. Jaime thinks she has met her soulmate and can just hear the chords of Pachelbel's Canon ringing in her head. She is beginning to fantasize about their future wedding and what they will name their children when he tells her he is going to Greece for the entire summer. Even worse - he is leaving the very next morning. Jaime finds herself in a romantic funk. After meeting Mr. Right, no boy stands a chance. All around her, summer romance blossoms and it makes her want to puke. When she discovers an acquaintance has a crush on her - a young man who would've been quite cute if it weren't for the unfortunate uni-brow parked on his forehead - she gives into the pressure of her best friend and embarks on an awkward romance, which has an even more awkward ending. Jaime decides she is going to wait for Gregg to get home from Greece, and she's going to make him fall in love with her. She heads into battle armed with her the support of her friends and tons of research on how to make a man fall in love. As time passes and she gets to know him, she realizes that Gregg is less like Mr. Sensitivity and more like Casanova, with his belt of many notches. Dealing with disillusionment is not the best time for another guy to enter the picture, but he does anyway. Joey, her younger brother's red-headed, glasses-wearing best friend, seems like a major pain in the backside - especially when he dethrones Jaime from her reign as Queen of Clue. Underneath his flippant attitude is a charm and wit that eventually convinces Jaime that sometimes, real love comes in the most surprising packages.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died.
