Lillyanna Gallon, nicknamed "Lily," has been inrolled in Laderwood Boarding School as a Day class student, since she was 10 years old. When her best friend pressures her into trying a week long social experience with the Night class, it brings back trauma from her childhood.
Lee has been inrolled in Laderwood Boarding School since his dad "ran off" when he was 14. He's been struggling with an ED since he was young. He misses his sister, Kayla. She's in the Day class. This is her first year in 9th grade and his last year in 12th. Even though he doesn't want to, enrolling in this experience is his only chance to reconnect with her. But instead, he meets Lily.
They both are hesitant to communicate for different reasons, but loneliness is one hell of a motivator.

The Quiet That Burns
He was her first everything. She was the only thing he ever wanted to keep. Four years ago at a high school party, Lilly St. James asked Luke Richards to take her virginity. No one ever found out. They never spoke of it again. Now they're both at Trentwood University. She's a rising ballet star with a killer body, flirtatious charm, and a reputation for keeping things casual. He's the stoic, unshakable goalie with an NHL contract to protect and desires he can't risk sharing with anyone. Except Lilly. Because she's the only one who knows what he really wants. And he's the only one who knows how dark it got in her head. They don't hide anything from each other. That's always been their problem. So when she asks him to help her explore the fantasies no one else has ever made her feel safe enough to admit, he says no. Until one reckless night, he doesn't. What starts as a private, no-strings arrangement turns into something messy, addictive, and dangerously intimate. She's supposed to be just a list. He's supposed to stay detached. But the more control she gives him behind closed doors, the more he unravels outside of them. Because the truth is-he never forgot the sounds she made that night. And now that he's had a taste, letting her go again might destroy him. But the real threat isn't what they do together in the dark. It's what happens when the whole world finds out. Secrets they can live with. Shame is another story. Especially when it goes viral.
If I Were Gone
I never meant to be a disappointment to my dad or to destroy my parent's marriage, but now my mom and I are moving to a small town called Louisville over halfway through my senior year. On my first day of school, some guy steals my first kiss in the cafeteria, and I meet a girl who probably has enough problems without adding me to the list. Overall the day was a disaster, and I can't help thinking that life would be better for everyone if I never existed in the first place. This story is told from multiple points of view, and explores how the existence of one person affects the lives around them.Complete

"I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?"

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
