Sixteen-year-old Georgia "Georgie" Carlisle thought she knew what summer felt like, long days, ocean air, late-night drives with the windows down. But when the final school bell rings and she and her tight-knit group of friends tumble into the golden blur of the season, she realizes this summer is different.
It's bonfires on the beach and songs on repeat. It's spontaneous road trips, secret crushes, and trying not to think about the way things are quietly changing. With college, heartbreak, and the weight of growing up on the horizon, Georgie documents it all-every messy, magical, unforgettable moment.
Summer Was Ours is a love letter to friendship, first freedom, and the bittersweet beauty of a summer you'll never get back... but will never forget

A Ray Of Sunshine
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐦. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. -- Sixteen-year-old Bailey Evans is determined to have her main character summer. That means fresh starts, bold choices, and finally checking off the bucket list she's been hiding in the back of her journal-including learning to swim. So when she moves to the sleepy coastal town of Seaview Bay to spend the summer with her artsy aunt, Bailey's all in for spontaneous adventures and maybe even a little romance. What she doesn't plan on is nearly drowning on day one-and being rescued by Emmett Carson, a sarcastic, tourist with hazel eyes and the emotional range of a brick wall. Bailey's sunshine soul is everything Emmett wasn't expecting from his quiet beach break... and everything he didn't know he needed. They strike a deal: he'll teach her how to swim and survive the sea, and she'll try not to overshare her entire life story before lunch. But between sandcastle competitions, stargazing talks, and accidentally falling harder than either of them meant to, this summer might just change everything. Because sometimes, all it takes is one perfectly reckless summer, one impossible boy, and one ray of sunshine to make you feel like you belong. -- #1 in bucketlist (06/03/25) #1 in fireworks (06/05/25)Complete
Float
It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.
