Claire's one and only goal in life is to be a top-notch psychologist. Now stepping foot on campus to begin her journey, alongside her best friend Lexi, she's set on giving it her all, especially ignoring any temptations of a boyfriend.
However, with one tiny mix-up on day one, Miles enters the picture, and her vow becomes a challenge to keep as his flirtatious, lax personality clashes with her uptight, rigid one.
Though she planned to grind her way through university and become the best of the best, she begins to falter at the pressure, realizing that slowing down might just be what helps her the most...and Miles is just that.

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

I'm Your Wreck
Liam Howard was a wreck. He had been for two years, ever since a knee injury ruined his soccer career, ruined his dreams, and made him a laughing stock of the community with a viral video of his worst moment. Now, he was still struggling to figure out who he was without the sport and where he'd go with his future when he couldn't be the star athlete anymore. In his junior year of college, Liam was confused about his future and about himself. Things were only made more confusing when he met his new roommate for the year. Banks, an aspiring tattoo artist and expert chicken wing connoisseur, piqued Liam's interest from day one. Which was weird, because he'd never thought about another guy so much, or looked at one as much as he looked at Banks. Junior year steamrolls forward as Liam tries to learn this new version of himself, who he is, who he loves, and how the hell he's going to get through the rest of the year in one piece.
