When Daisy Augustin is uprooted from her Southern hometown and dropped into the chaos of Brooklyn for her senior year, she doesn't just leave behind her friends and the only life she's ever known-she leaves behind the last pieces of herself that felt okay. Now she's stuck sharing a roof with her emotionally checked-out mama and her overbearing aunt, trying to hold her family together while slowly falling apart.
Then there's Malik Rivera.
Quiet. Brilliant. And grieving the father who meant everything to him. Malik doesn't need anyone, least of all the new girl with a sweet drawl and a habit of barging into his garage like she owns the place. But Daisy has a way of showing up-offering cookies, bad jokes, and a kind of understanding that makes it harder and harder to push her away.
What starts as annoyance turns into late-night conversations, shared silences, and something neither of them expected: comfort.
They're both grieving, both stuck, and both slowly learning that sometimes the people you least expect are the ones who save you.
A slow-burn, heart-tugging romance about loss, love, and learning how to let someone in.

Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Lengkap

THE EDGE OF NINETEEN(19)(EDITING)
"Some stories aren't just written-they're survived." Heaven never planned to fall apart quietly. Nineteen was supposed to be her year of survival. Instead, it became the year everything unraveled-family, friendships, and the walls she built around her pain. Diagnosed with BPD, trapped between silence and screams, and carrying scars she thought no one could love, she was certain the world had forgotten her. Then came Chase-gentle, persistent, and painfully human. What began as an accidental connection in a library became the lifeline she never knew she needed. This is not a love story in the way you expect. It's about healing in slow, aching pieces. It's about therapy sessions, midnight breakdowns, found family, and daring to believe in something softer. It's about what happens when you stop surviving and start living. And maybe, just maybe-find someone worth fighting your way back for. Raw. Real. Relatable. If you've ever been on the edge of something-grief, love, adulthood, or your own mind-this book is for you. ---Lengkap
