"To silently hate you while secretly plotting your death or poke you in the eyeballs right now, I'm still contemplating."
"Choose the opposite of the former then," he tells me ever so simply.

When Chelsea Crew trudges her way into her new profound college life, little does she know who she's up against.
Jake Delaney.
From the exterior, he looks just like any guy you'd read, hear from gossips and maybe dream secretly about in your sleep. But what lies under that mask of his tells a whole new story, that'll change your entire perspective and maybe shake you up altogether.
The two of them may come across awfully ordinary and common, but when they're both struggling to carry the bag of secrets that sits precariously on their shoulders that threatens to spill over any second, everything changes.
Remember, everything is not what it seems.

Probably, Maybe, Definitely
Marco has never fallen in love. Not because he couldn't. He just... hasn't. He's rich, effortlessly charming, and used to coasting through life with a wink and a smile. Girls like him. Professors like him. Even dogs like him. But when a sarcastic art student with ink-stained fingers and an allergic reaction to his confidence enters the picture, things get complicated fast. Lexi doesn't date golden boys. Especially not the type who wear clean white sneakers and talk their way through group projects. But when she's paired with Marco Cabrera for a class assignment, she learns something dangerous: he's not just charming. He's curious, thoughtful, and annoyingly hard to ignore. A maybe-date turns into a tea-fueled friendship. A friendship turns into late-night walks. And somewhere between eye-rolls and inside jokes, something real starts to spark. He's not her type. She's not looking. But love? Love never asks first.Complete

Breathe
Quinn Parker is the girl everyone thinks they know-perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect smile. But behind the polished image is a secret she guards so tightly that not even her closest friends see the cracks. Ryder Bennett has spent years pretending he doesn't care about anything, least of all Quinn. He used to make her life miserable in middle school, and she's never forgiven him for it. Except now, the more time they spend in the same orbit, the harder it is for either of them to ignore the pull. They argue. They tease. They cross lines and retreat. And somewhere in between late-night conversations, stolen car rides, and the weight of things unsaid, Quinn starts to realize Ryder isn't who she thought he was-and maybe she isn't either. In a world where appearances matter and silence feels safer than honesty, two people who were never supposed to trust each other might be the only ones who actually can.

The Billionaire Mafia Boss Alpha Bad Boy and Me
A parody... except it slowly gets less satirical as I get way too attached to the characters and turn the story into a shipping-fest ~~~~ "Why are you doing this?" I whispered. He slammed me against another locker. I could see anger, sadness, envy, happiness and lust in his teal green orbs. "Because you're mine." He smirked, gnashing his teeth against mine. ~~~~ Brynn Winters is a 17 year old good girl. She is sweeter than sugar. She is also sarcastic and quirky and innocent and naive and snarky and is a bookworm and not like other girls. She also has trauma to (barely) compensate for her lack of personality. She believes in love but she has never experienced any, until she met him. Ryder Daniels is a 18 year old bad boy. He is sweeter than sin. He is dark and mysterious and plays football (not shown in book). He smokes and drinks beer. He is a ladies' man and a player. He has walls around his heart and some dark secrets that is definitely not spoiled in the title. He does not believe in love. Brynn and Ryder are opposites. So what happens when they meet? He is not who she thinks he is. Will it end in disaster? Or will it end in love? Will it end in flames? Or will it end in a different kind of flame? As disasters come their way, will they choose love or not love? Will their secrets drive them apart? Or will they trust in each other? Join them on their journey of love. There will be love, annoying sluts, conversations that doesn't pass the Bechdel test, cliche tropes, glaring plot holes, subtly glaring plot holes, socialism, orbs, humor, secondhand embarrassment and the tiniest hints of homoeroticism. ~~~~ Reviews (aka criticisms that I'm too lazy to correct): "From a horribly done parody to horribly done leftist propaganda." "Brynn and Ryder are the most frustrating couple I've ever read." "Where humor" "You can't use parody as an excuse for bad writing, you know."Complete
