Yasmina Nothando Thompson seems to have it all figured out. At Riveria Boarding School, she's the captain of the basketball team, a respected prefect, and she's finally found her place with a supportive group of friends and a loving new girlfriend. Life should be perfect, right?

But beneath the surface, Yasmina is struggling. As she juggles the pressures of school, the expectations of her new role, and the complexities of her evolving identity, she starts to question everything she thought she knew. The weight of her past, the uncertainty of her future, and the demands of her present begin to take a toll on her mental and emotional well-being.

When Yasmina's search for acceptance from her mother brings her to a breaking point, she begins to understand that true happiness and self-love don't come from others but from within. With Kendall by her side, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning that sometimes the most important love is the one she gives herself.

In this poignant coming-of-age story, Yasmina faces the challenges of growing up while learning to embrace her true self and find her own path to happiness.All Rights Reserved

I glanced down to her lips but then I scooted away while clearing my throat. She hmm'd, "You tried to kiss me again." I shook my head and said "Nope. I didn't, I tried not to kiss you, as you see." She rolled her eyes with a soft smile. "Maybe if you did let me kiss you...just once, I would stop trying." She sighed softly "I got my doctorate at 24 You know I'm not a dumbass right?" I just let out a soft sigh "Thank you for everything" I hugged her and held her tightly. She wrapped her arms around me. She pulled back and I looked at her lips. "I should go." I said softly. "You can have one kiss-" I kissed her. ________________________________________ India Jones is a true Chicagoan girl who, to unfortunate circumstances, has to move to Texas with her father.

She has it all, yet something was missing and she soon discovers it in the form of a strangely introverted woman who catches her fancy by complete happenstance.

Guess That Is How I Know You by CristalCysne

A deeply moving love story that will throw you into an emotional roller-coaster of learning the diverse facades of love. "Her presence took hold of every single person inside that room, that kind of power over people was inebriating. She reminded me of a fox looking right at its prey and still, even though the prey knows the intentions of the fox, it cannot help but stop and admire the beauty of the predator until it becomes too late to flee." Remi is a law student and even though she is young and sometimes naïve, she is by no means the kind to play with. Introverted, confused, intelligent beyond her age yet unapplied, she is an inconsistency between trying to be the best she can be and not knowing whether she is making the right choices for herself. Follow Remi as she attempts to navigate unpaved roads: a complicated and tangled connection, the intricacies on stablishing a worthy career, the conciliation of her feelings with her professional priorities, the world of new experiences, and a rocky love story. When all one seeks is that perfect moment, on that perfect spot, with the right person to feel things are finally falling into place. But Remi cannot stand being on the fringes of someone else's life forever. In order to salvage everything, a new perspective is needed to safeguard her heart and shine a light on a complicate relationship. -------- If you are reading this book in any other platform other than Wattpad, you are risking both your device and personal data of virtual attacks such as malware or virus.

Life is a complex and diverse phenomenon that encompasses the existence of living beings on earth. You can either hate life or love it. There's no in between. Willow Romano on the other hand loves it. She has the perfect life. Not once in her life did she have to lift a finger to do any kind of work. Coming from a wealthy family meant that she was born into a life of privilege and luxury. She had access to the best education, traveled around the world in private jets, attended extravagant parties, and never faced any financial struggles. Despite all these material comforts and societal privileges, Willow Romano found herself yearning for something more meaningful in life. Deep down inside she felt a sense of emptiness that no amount of wealth or extravagance could fill. She needed something or more so, someone. Harper Sánchez has her moments where she enjoys life but she also hates it. Having such a high profile job makes her feel like she's constantly under scrutiny and pressure. The demands of her career often leave her feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, despite the occasional moments of enjoyment that come with success. Harper struggles to find a balance between work and personal life, as the responsibilities of her job consume much of her time and energy. While she appreciates the opportunities that come with having a high-profile position, such as financial stability and professional recognition, Harper also grapples with feelings of isolation and burnout. The constant need to perform at a certain level takes its toll on her mental health, leading to periods where she questions if it's all worth it.
