childhoodfriends cousins eunchae family friends

Kazumi has never stayed in one place long enough to call it home. Growing up between Japan and America, she learned that every new city meant another goodbye, another school, another one of her mother's relationships waiting to fall apart. But if there's one thing Kazumi knows how to do, it's survive-with a sarcastic remark, terrible decisions, and a smile that convinces everyone she's doing just fine. When she's sent to Portugal to live with relatives she barely knows, she expects nothing more than another place she'll eventually leave behind. Her cousins aren't exactly thrilled to have her living with them, and fitting into her new life proves harder than she expected. As if that wasn't enough, there's someone else waiting for her. Three years ago, he was her best friend. The one person who made staying in one place feel easy. Then he left, and neither of them got the chance to say goodbye the way they wanted. Now they're seventeen, and nothing about them is the same. Between family expectations, dangerous alliances, old memories, and feelings that never really disappeared, Kazumi is about to learn that some people don't stay in your past... No matter how hard you try to leave them there.

The Art of Breathing

Elaine Brown has spent most of her twenty-three years in hospital rooms - a girl with a failing heart and too much light in her soul to sit still. The nurses call her sunshine, the doctors call her stubborn, and her best friend calls her trouble. To Elaine, the hospital isn't just where she lives - it's her universe. A place she fills with laughter, pranks, and stories so she doesn't have to think about the ticking in her chest. When a quiet, brooding new patient named Calian is assigned to share her room, Elaine sees it as an opportunity for friendship. He sees it as a nightmare. But the more she talks (and talks... and talks), the more she chips away at the walls he's built around himself. Calian is an artist whose lungs are failing him - a boy who's running out of air but still finds a way to make beauty out of what's left. Together, they navigate the strange rhythm of life inside four white walls: laughter through pain, hope through fear, and love in the unlikeliest of places. But hospitals are full of goodbyes, and Elaine knows that some stories are written in breaths, not chapters. Still, she believes in one thing with her whole, fragile heart - that even when life hurts, there's always art in the act of staying alive. A story about life inside hospital rooms - about friendship, loss, art, and the fragile beauty of still being here.
