Riley DiLaurentis has always found it easier to write songs than tell the truth.
Whether it's the notebook hidden beneath her mattress, the lyrics she never lets anyone read or the melodies she writes in the middle of the night, music has always been the place where she says the things she can't say out loud.
At Briar University, Riley is finally beginning to figure out who she is. Between music classes, late-night songwriting sessions with her best friend Hannah and the chaos that seems to follow her brother Dean everywhere, life feels complicated enough.
Especially when one of the most important people in her life is Beau Maxwell.
Her ex-boyfriend. Her best friend.
The person who knows her almost as well as she knows herself.
Told through present-day chapters and flashbacks, What I Couldn't Say follows Riley as she looks back on the moments that shaped her from first loves and lifelong friendships to discovering who she is and finding the courage to live honestly.

The First Call
Kennedy Heiward has spent most of her life earning her place in other people's worlds. The perfect student. The dependable friend. The teammate who always shows up. The girl who carries everyone's problems and never lets anyone see her own. After moving across the country for college, Kennedy finally builds something that's hers-a life filled with soccer games, coffee shop shifts, late-night study sessions, and friends who feel more like family than she ever thought possible. Including John Logan. Star hockey player. Campus handyman. Professional pain in her ass. Logan slips into Kennedy's life so naturally she barely notices it happening. One shared coffee becomes a routine. One conversation becomes a friendship. And before either of them realize it, they've become each other's first call, favorite person, and safest place to land. But when ghosts from Kennedy's past come crashing into the life she's built, old wounds are ripped open and long-buried truths finally come to light. As friendships fracture and loyalties are tested, Kennedy is forced to confront a question she's spent years avoiding: What happens when the people you love stop needing you? And what happens when someone loves you anyway? Filled with found family, college sports, late-night drives, inside jokes, healing, heartbreak, and a slow-burn romance years in the making, *The First Call* is a story about learning that love isn't something you earn. It's something you choose. But when the future Kennedy has built begins to collide with the future everyone expects of her, will she finally let herself be chosen-or will she keep running from the one person who's been there all along?

After losing her mother in a tragic accident and being abandoned, she's learned the hard way that people always leave. So she keeps a tight grip on the ones who stay, hiding her pain behind a warm smile and pouring all her love into the animals at the local shelter, especially one old, forgotten golden retriever named Charlie, who's been waiting longer than anyone to be chosen.

The more time they spend together- late nights at the shelter, sunset talks on a hidden hill, stolen moments. He sees her. She sees him.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
THE FINE PRINT ☆ DEAN DI LAURENTIS
Dean Di Laurentis has always had a way out of trouble. Charm the professor. Sweet talk the coach. Flash a grin and let the world bend to his will. Except this time, it doesn't. With three failing classes and his hockey career on the line, Dean needs Bs and he needs them fast. Anastasia Miller needs a way to finally break free from the toxic ex she can't seem to stop going back to. A fake relationship seems like the perfect solution. Dean gets the help he needs to keep playing hockey and Anastasia gets a boyfriend convincing enough to keep her ex away. The plan is simple. Fake the dates. Fake the kisses. Keep things strictly business. The only problem is that the more time they spend pretending, the harder it becomes to remember what's real.
