Twenty-four days. That's how long it took me to fall in love. Pretty impressive, since for the first twenty-three days all I had to fall in love with were little presents slipped into my locker. [#81 teen fiction / #1 holidays] NOTE - I wrote this book at 14 so the characters are 15-16 year olds. This is your warning so you don't have to be surprised/disappointed when their ages are mentioned! Thanks!

Olivia and Ricky's Odyssey to Rock Bottom by MariaJoWrites

Accused of an assault he doesn't remember, Ricky's senior year is made doubly complicated when he falls for the victim's best friend, Olivia - his only alibi. *** Growing up among New York's high society seems glamorous from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. 17-year-old Ricky, who's cultivated a long list of rumors because of his bad boy behavior, knows this first-hand. But when he's wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a classmate, things take a turn. Especially when discovering the victim's best friend, Olivia, is his only alibi. With feelings quickly growing stronger between them, Ricky can't help falling for Olivia's kind nature, yet complications lurk around every corner, made worse still by the dark secret Ricky's been hiding for years, and his biggest fear is someone uncovering the truth behind the bad rumors. What will happen to Olivia and Ricky when the secret finally comes out? It's a long way down from high society to rock bottom. Content Warning: This story is a depiction of real life.

Good Things I'll Never Do Again by jndixon2

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

THE PERFECT GUY by Cath3yy

What does it mean to be perfect? Does a perfect guy even exist? Rachael is lonely, depressed, and bullied at school, with no friends to turn to. As she teeters on the edge of despair, she contemplates ending it all-until the possibility of a soulmate gives her a glimmer of hope. Rachael dreams of finding her perfect match, but deep down, she doubts that love is in the cards for her. When Jake, a new student, arrives at Brookdale High, she fears he'll be just another bully. But instead of ridicule, Jake offers comfort, and Rachael begins to believe that maybe, just maybe, love is possible. With newfound courage, Rachael decides to stand up to her bullies and speak out about the torment she's endured. To her surprise, one of her tormentors, Sam, apologizes and urges others to stop. As she gains new friends-and possibly a love interest or two-Rachael's world starts to change. But in the end, only one guy can be her perfect match. Will Rachael find the love she's been searching for, or is perfection just an illusion?
