She left the only home she ever knew. Now she's back-but nothing feels the same.

Bryson Taylor and Rowen Gentry were more than just best friends-they were always. Growing up side by side in the rustic outskirts of Bryson City, North Carolina, their days were filled with barefoot summers, creekside secrets, and promises they believed would last forever.

But at thirteen, Rowen's world was upended when her father's new job swept her into the chaos of city life. They promised to stay in touch. They meant to. But time, distance, and life got in the way.

Now, two years later, Rowen's back-but everything has changed. Her father's job is gone, their city life has vanished, and Bryson... isn't the same boy she left behind. The town feels unfamiliar. The friendship feels like a memory. And Rowen doesn't know where she belongs.

When Summer Meets Fall by AriWynterWrites

Every summer, Brielle Hayes and her parents escape the gray skies of Washington for the same quiet coastal town along the Oregon shore Seabrook Cove, a place that's always felt like their second home. For Brielle, it's the perfect setting to disappear into her books, far from real-life complications. She'd rather stay tucked away in her room than bother with summer activities or socializing. But this summer feels different. Still reeling from heartbreak right before vacation, she expects to spend her days holed up in her room, reading instead of trying to make the most of her break. As far as she's concerned, summer is already ruined. Books are her life the only thing that makes reality bearable. That is, until her mom unexpectedly reunites with her old college best friend-and Brielle finds herself spending the summer next door to Luca Knight, her mom's best friend's son. He's everything Brielle isn't: confident, charming, effortlessly magnetic. The kind of guy who could make anyone's heart skip, except hers and having his name mentioned makes her roll her eyes and don't give him the time of day. At first, they clash especially when Luca teases her for living too much in her fantasy world of fairy tales, a comment Brielle can't stand. She hates people like him the ones who judge without understanding. Guys like him are assholes and shouldn't be entertained. But the more time they're forced to spend together, thanks to their moms' and Brielle's matchmaking schemes, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them. What starts as barely tolerating each other turns into late-night talks, shared secrets, and the kind of closeness that feels like healing. Still, summer can't last forever, and when it ends, Brielle realizes that some goodbyes aren't as simple as they seem. © 2025 Ari Wynter. All rights reserved.

Life, Unexpectedly by thebananacpa

There was Hanna, full of big dreams and reckless plans. Kim, sharp-tongued and fiercely loyal, with a laugh that could disarm the world. Luke, the quiet thinker, always scribbling in his notebook, trying to make sense of life before it had even begun. Collin, equal parts chaos and light, who could never sit still long enough to be caught. Hazel, all heart and hesitation, the one who held them together even when everything else began to fall apart. And Roanne, the dreamer, the glue between them all, with eyes that saw people for who they were-and who they could be. They met on a summer day too hot to forget, down at the park near the community center, where promises were made with pinky fingers and children's laughter echoed through the trees. Time moved differently back then. Days bled into nights, and the world felt small, safe, and theirs. But life, unexpectedly, has its own plans.
