Fifteen-year-old Avery is used to being invisible-at home, at school, and in the system that's failed them time and time again. After being placed in a foster home that quickly turns hostile, Avery's careful silence starts to crack, especially when they find unexpected support in Mx. Rivera, a nonbinary teacher who refuses to look away. As Avery slowly opens up through quiet moments, the school's GSA, and Rivera's gentle persistence, the two form an unlikely bond that grows into something much deeper: found family.
But when Avery's foster mother finds out they've spoken to CPS, things escalate. A single message sends Rivera rushing from school to protect them, setting in motion a new chapter neither of them saw coming. While navigating panic attacks, trust issues, and the slow, painful process of healing, Avery finds safety not in perfection-but in being truly seen.
What We Hold is a heartfelt contemporary YA novel about survival, identity, and the quiet strength of chosen family. For readers who have ever felt like too much or not enough, this story is a reminder: sometimes, the people who choose you are the ones who stay.

Somebody Like You
Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

After graduating college, Grace, an expressive but introspective 22-year-old writer and photographer, moves from San Francisco to Portland, seeking peace, self-discovery, and a fresh start. Struggling with OCD, anxiety, and the weight of past experiences, she wants to redefine herself without the influence of others. While she's excited about her new life, she quickly realizes that finding a true sense of belonging isn't as easy as she thought.

Though she has her life together, she recognizes parts of herself in Grace's struggles. Their connection is instant yet layered-filled with playful teasing, deep conversations, and an undeniable attraction. As Grace settles into Portland, her interactions with Evelyn challenge her in ways she didn't expect. Through moments of joy, vulnerability, and growth, she begins to understand what it truly means to love and be loved. But as she unpacks her past, will she allow herself to fully embrace this new chapter with Evelyn? Or will her fears of attachment and rejection hold her back?
State Of Grace
Life seems to hand Gracie one bad deal after the other, and she knows things will only worsen before they get better. After escaping a few nasty situations, she finds herself in the care of the Tucker family, and they show her what that life can be more than just surviving. Trigger warnings for the following: Self harm Suicidal ideation and references to suicide SA/R*pe Abuse and violence Toxic relationships The Tucker Family is inspired by the fosters and so are some of the story points, I'm obsessed with that show and always imagined other types of characters in that world/family. Each chapter is named after a Taylor Swift song and there are other Taylor Swift-related references throughout, find them all for a prize! Just kidding there's no prize but let me know how many you notice!Kumpleto
Two Heartbeats on One Page
Jordan's in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn't spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he's still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona. He needs a vacation. Darcey's been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he's unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn't even have health insurance to treat his PTSD. He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family. Instead, they find each other. When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right? Nope. Instead, everything gets messier. The third and final book in the Holding Our Hearts In Our Hands series. Cover by the super talented MargaretSmoke! Thank you!: https://www.wattpad.com/user/MargaretSmokeKumpleto
