Living in a suffocating household dynamic, 17-year-old Lizzy Jones, finds herself constantly overlooked by her parents who lavish attention on her younger sister, Jamie - their self-proclaimed golden child. Left to navigate life's challenges alone, Lizzy begins to question her place in the world.

While her peers are out partying, dating, and conforming to societal expectations, Lizzy feels trapped in a never-ending cycle of trying to fit in. In her monotonous routine, she yearns for something more, something authentic that goes beyond the surface. Enter Parker Watts, the enigmatic rebel of their school. Intrigued by his mysterious aura, Lizzy is drawn to him, sensing that he holds the key to breaking free from her stifling existence. As their paths intertwine, Lizzy discovers a side of herself she never knew existed - a longing for adventure, a desire to challenge the norm, and an appetite for genuine connections.

With Parker as her guide, Lizzy learns to embrace her individuality, pushing against the expectations imposed upon her. While her friends conform to societal molds, Lizzy begins to understand the value of forging her own unique path. Caught between the pressures of conforming and the call of her authentic self, Lizzy grapples with her choices throughout her junior year. The more time she spends with Parker, the deeper their connection grows, and the more they both realize that they are searching for something profound amidst the superficiality of teenage life.

|CROSSROADS x LEAP YEAR | Eighteen-year-old April Lewis flees her troubled home, desperate to escape her emotionally distant, controlling mom, and seek out her dad. Little does she know a chance encounter with her classmate will take her on a cross-country ride: a journey that will change April's life forever. A venture that will lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected love. *** When eighteen-year-old April Lewis' mom walks around like a zombie, evades all attempts to talk and controls her every move, April decides she's had enough. She leaves home one warm summer evening with nothing but a yellow backpack filled with her coveted dad's letters he's been sending her for the past months, and some bare necessities. She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her. After making sure April is just a little banged-up, Dave strikes a deal with her: he'll help her get to the West Coast free of charge, as long as she doesn't report him to the cops. The two embark upon a road trip from NY to LA, navigating through stunning landscapes and meeting a colorful cast of characters. While sharing life stories and exchanging experiences, armed with the wisdom from her Dad's letters, April and Dave discover that they are a lot more alike than they originally thought. The journey slowly becomes more important than the destination, and their path takes an unexpected turn when a shocking secret comes to light. © 2024 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 4!

Typical teenager Joanna Gore Alex is less than thrilled to be the new girl in a new school. During her first day, she quickly learns teachers obviously favor the popular students and her classmates have no interest in being nice. Just when Joanna believes the day couldn't get any worse, she has a slightly embarrassing and awkward altercation with one of the hottest guys at school. But as the school days pass by, Joanna forms friendships with some unexpected classmates and discovers exactly how strong she can be against the school's mean girl. When Joanna is drawn to one of her brother's new friends, Frank, she feels like she's known him forever. Even his full name - Francis James - sounds familiar to her for some reason. Joanna quickly learns life isn't all about handing assignments in on time (although it is important), she discovers the meaning of friendship, family, heartache, and most of all, love. #TopPicks Wattpad list under YoungAdult on 20th September 2021 #TopPicks Wattpad list under Friendship on 15th August 2021 #Published on Amazon in April 2022
