In a small northern town in 2008, Year 11 means mock exams, pressure, and pretending everything's fine.
Riley Morgan hides from the world in the school's music room, a quiet girl with fading grades and too many thoughts she can't put into words.
Sally Thompson has everything - the grades, the friends, the perfect life in Rosemere Heights - or so everyone thinks.
When Sally is asked to tutor Riley, neither of them expects much. But between late nights at the library and songs that say what they can't, something begins to shift.
And in a world where silence feels safer than truth, two girls have to decide what's worth being brave for.

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.Complete

From stolen glances to late-night calls, from fairytale moments to whispered vows of a future together - it all felt real. Until it wasn't. In 2023, just days before her birthday, he disappeared. Two months later, he was married. By the end of the year, he was back in her life, swearing he had changed. This is not a love story. This is the unfiltered truth of what it's like to love someone who breaks you twice - and still have to find the strength to walk away the third time. It's about silence after loud lies, betrayal after blind faith, and the quiet power of choosing yourself. Loud and Unclear is a deeply personal memoir of heartbreak, healing, and the brutal beauty of finally hearing your own voice after drowning in someone else's noise. For every woman who has stayed too long, loved too hard, and left too late - This is your story, too.Complete
