She was everything he wasn't-popular, rich, untouchable.
And she lived right next door.
Tomi had watched Grace Adeyemi from afar since junior school. The Nigerian-American girl with the soft voice, the perfect grades, and the kind of beauty that made people stare. Everyone wanted her. He just wanted a chance.
Now in SS1, taller, braver-or so he tells himself-Tomi thinks he finally has one. But Grace isn't just a dream girl; she's a storm wrapped in sunlight. Beneath her perfect life lies pressure, secrets, and a loneliness she hides too well.
When their worlds collide in the hallways of their elite school in Lekki, Lagos, a friendship begins that blurs into something deeper-something dangerous. Because falling for the girl next door means breaking every rule: class, pride, and maybe even his heart.
Maybe some crushes were made to hurt...

WHEN THE SPOTLIGHT FADES
Riva was made for the stage-she just never realized it. Every smile, every achievement, every perfectly spoken "yes ma" had been a performance. And as long as people clapped, as long as they called her brilliant, good, responsible, she kept the act going. Because who was she without the applause? But now, the crowd has gone quiet. Excellence is expected. Her effort is invisible. The praise that once fueled her has dried up, leaving behind exhaustion she can't shake and a question she can't answer-why bother? The school play was supposed to be a distraction. Instead, it's another role she's trapped in. And Bascko is the worst part of it. He doesn't treat her like the smart girl, the reliable one, the golden child. No, Bascko watches her like he sees something underneath it all, like he's waiting for her to slip. And with the way he invades her space, plays with her hands like they're his to hold, whispers things between lines that don't belong in the script-Riva is afraid she already has. She should focus. On school. On home. On surviving the emptiness. But how does she keep pretending when the one person who shouldn't matter is the only one making her feel real? In a world that only values her shine, Riva must decide who she is when the spotlight fades-and whether she wants to keep playing the role they gave her, or finally step off the stage.Lengkap

Once feared and admired as a cruel "queen bee," Yasmin survives a horrifying attack that leaves two of her friends dead, one friend in a coma, and her conscience shattered. Forced to leave her old life behind, she moves to the gloomy town of Gloomspire to live with the mother who once abandoned her. At her new school, Yasmin hopes to disappear quietly. Instead, she is pulled into another cycle of cruelty when a powerful trio of girls blackmail and humiliate her. As she struggles with guilt, panic attacks, grief, and the fear that she deserves every bad thing that happens to her, she slowly begins to find unexpected warmth through her adopted stepbrother Harun, his sharp-tongued best friend Fu'ad, and the friendship she almost destroys with Diana.  As Yasmin begins to heal and reclaim herself, she earns academic success and a scholarship to the prestigious Bellthorne University, where a new chapter begins. There, she encounters the brilliant and emotionally guarded Aahil Adam, heir to a powerful legacy and a man whose interest in her is as unsettling as it is magnetic. Their connection grows through intellect, tension, and unspoken curiosity. But Yasmin's past refuses to stay buried. Strange events, disappearances, psychological terrors, and the ghost of the girl she helped destroy begin to close in. As old sins resurface and new secrets emerge, Yasmin must decide whether survival is enough-or whether she is finally ready to face the truth about who she was, who she became, and who she still has the chance to be.

Identically Loved
Loving two brothers was never part of her plan. One was her best friend-her anchor, her constant, the boy who knew her inside out. The other was his twin brother-her boyfriend, her heartbeat, the one who made her believe in soulmates. To the outside world, it was simple: she spent all her time with him, laughed with him, leaned into his shoulder like home. But the world had it wrong. They mistook closeness for passion, friendship for romance. They didn't see the difference between the way she looked at him-with warmth-and the way she looked at his twin-with fire. They didn't know that when her phone lit up, her heart skipped only for one name. They didn't understand that love could be quiet and loud at the same time, and that what she shared with each brother was made of completely different threads. But when the brothers weren't there to speak for themselves, when questions and whispers started to twist the truth, how could anyone believe that her heart truly belonged to the one they didn't expect? ---Lengkap
