dystopia friendship future happiness outcasts outlaws runaways teenagers

In Contenton, everybody smiles, but only because it's the law. The Happiness Laws ban all simpering, whimpering, scowling, glaring, and particularly crying in public. And they all lived happily ever after.

Except for Rebecca Swansen, a seventeen-year-old girl who fears she might be a criminal. She suffers through school with a tense smile on her face. She wants nothing more than to be happy, but can't seem to blend in with the popular crowd of giggling girls. Instead she sits in a tree with her best friend, Peter Barrett, and whispers dangerous ideas and forbidden thoughts.

Peter isn't interested in hiding. He wants to run. If he can only convince his best friend to follow him into the unknown, he believes he can find a different kind of happiness. But, of course, being happy isn't as simple as leaving a place that makes you unhappy. Together Rebecca and Peter search out freedom, independence, and contentment in a runaway adventure that tests the strength of Contenton's smile.All Rights Reserved

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does. So when her boyfriend Declan decides to turn their temporary break into a permanent break-up, she starts to seriously doubt her girlfriend skills. Her new flatmate Ric tells Abby she's not the problem, but how can she believe *him* when he's one of the most annoying guys she's ever encountered? However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️
