Well, her maths teacher hates her, her mum pays too much attention to her, her dad doesn't pay enough attention, her sister loves to make her life hell and her brother is the only one she can trust in her family. Eccentric, stereotype crazy Anisha is the definition of perfect, Dan is loved by everyone and ice-skating has lost it's sparkle.
That's when Johnny comes in. Along with Mimi, Logan and Lola, they open April up to a new world, the world of skateboarding, even though that's a definite no-no in her life. For some reason, she's captivated by the sport and loves the rush. This group of friends bring out the real April, the fun-loving, loud and addictive one and although she's going against everything she'd ever been told, she was letting go and for once, enjoying life away from all the drama, the responsibilities and her mother's control.
The road to Perfection is long and sure as hell bumpy, but April's thinking of taking a few turnings along the way.

The Sweetest Deal
Jane Caughill: Not a nobody, definitely not a somebody. From a young age Jane knew she was different. She could tell you how many boats were on Lake Mead or a random fact about giraffes if she wanted to. But the one question she can't answer is what she's going to do after college. Being undeniably smart had its pros: an early graduation and a bright future in the medical field. Though, it also had its cons: the constant nagging and reliance everybody had on her. But no matter what, she always found herself helping them. Here's the plan so far: graduate, land a high-paying job in the medical field, live a happy life, the end. But ever since Jane had stepped into that bakery back home as a child, she'd been hooked on the craft. But she's strapped for cash and the pre-med track sounds a whole lot more financially promising. All she needed to do for the next 3 years was keep her head down and work off her pending college loans. The last thing she thought she'd be doing was tutoring some jock. • • • • • • • • Aiden Parker: Definitely not a nobody, and most definitely a somebody. As a three year starter for one of the most prolific college hockey teams in the country he has it all going for him. The looks, the talent, the charm. But when it comes to the classroom he's quite literally failing. With the team nearing playoffs and a sweet chance at the title, Aiden needs to find a way to boost his grades or risk riding the bench. What he wasn't expecting was to be tutored by some chick who could give Einstein a run for his money. She could be a bit shy at times, a bit lost in her thoughts too, but she's exactly what he needs to keep his spot on the team. The two of them strike a deal: she tutors him, he pays her, and that's that. Developing feelings wasn't a part of the deal. But as his feelings fail to dissipate, he begins to realize that maybe winning a championship won't be the sweetest victory after all. Winning the girl is.
The Chemistry of Maybe
Farra is just your average high school student if your average student blurts out inappropriate jokes, drifts through life with a half-detached smirk, and keeps everyone at arm's length just far enough to stay safe. She doesn't believe in soulmates, real emotions, or whatever people mean when they say "connection." But even someone like her ends up with a found family of chaotic, loyal, deeply flawed friends who keep her from drifting too far. Then comes Asta. Mysterious, quiet, unfairly attractive Asta. The kind of guy Farra should definitely avoid but absolutely cannot stop thinking about. When her attempts to figure him out turn into full-on strategies (and minor stalking), Farra ropes in her "friend" Alif to help. But when feelings shift, secrets pile up, and nothing goes as planned, she finds herself stuck between the version of herself she performs and the person she might actually want to be. High school was already messy. Add in some unrequited crushes, group chats full of bad advice, and the slow, painful realization that "maybe" isn't enough, and things get a lot more complicated. A sharp, funny, and painfully honest story about friendship, feeling too much, and figuring out who the hell you are, one awkward conversation at a time.Complete
