To Elizabeth Wright, life is a never-ending cycle of never standing out, listening to her loving parents, and focusing purely on her schoolwork. And, if it were up to her, things would never change. Of course, Elle's only friend, Melody, has tried to break her out of her shell, but Elle prefers to hide behind a book and ignore the drama and the unknown of the real world.
But when she starts spending more time with a guy who lives a life in the spotlight, Elle realizes just how little she knows about herself. Through taking risks, making mistakes, and (most importantly) listening to her heart, she learns who exactly Elizabeth Wright is.

Second Lanark
Drama. It was the one thing Elizabeth wanted nothing to do with during her first year of university. She'd had enough of that in high school. At first, it seemed like it was going to be a smooth year: she liked her roommates; the varsity swim team was fun and there was a cute British guy on her floor who made her heart sing. Then, the British boy began spending a lot of time with another girl; the swim team took a risk that could lead to the team's cancellation and two of her roommates started to argue all the time. Suddenly, Elizabeth's first year of university becomes fraught with problems she couldn't have foreseen. It's going to be a heck of a freshman year.

The House
A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.

Everything that happened since September
Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful ownersComplete
