It's not easy being a young adult in the 21st century. Everything is changing, bills are piling in, you're trying to decide whether to study or just get a job, and on top of that, there are one million other inconveniences in your way - having sex, the pressure to keep up with your friends and everyone else your age, foes with grudges not forgotten, amnesia, pregnancy, death. Yep, suddenly there's a whole lot more to think about, and suddenly, you begin to learn that you can't just get away with stuff anymore - every action has a consequence.
Amanda Lane is eighteen, and what starts as a bit of harmless fun, and revenge for an April Fool's Day prank that she is unable to get over ends in a devastating accident. When five years of her life are suddenly erased from her memory, she must learn to cope with not only the struggles of her average life, but also must resolve the tension that goes with her two lives - one, where she is out of school, working, having fun with her friends and learning the ins and outs of romance with her first real boyfriend, and the other where she is an introverted thirteen-year-old still grappling with her place in the social circles at school.
Life is moving past her fast, and Amanda struggles to keep up with the changes that are facing her. Her friends around her are starting to leave her or forget, struggling with their own burdens or moving on with their lives. Tragedy after tragedy rocks them all, leaving them reeling, knocked down before they even have a chance to find their feet again, but there are small slivers of light amid the intensity of life, and when darkness is constantly looming, there is only one thing left for you to do; bask in the light before it gets snuffed out completely.

Fix You ✧ ((Harry Styles/Selena Gomez))
"Please, go out with me?" "No." "Why not?" "I'm bad for you." "I love you and I don't care if you're involved with shit. I am in love with you. I'm not giving up on you and I will try to fix you." Harry Styles is the epitome of the perfect student. He has good grades, a kind personality, and supportive friends, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn.

He's his mum's precious baby, especially since his older sister Gemma moved out for University. His mother can't bear the sight of Harry broken or even just feeling sad so she does her best to protect him and steer him away from any source of pain. Selena Gomez is quite the opposite. Losing her parents in the fifth grade wasn't an easy ordeal for her; ever since then, she hasn't been the same happy child her parents wished her to be. She lives with her two older brothers, Tyler and Derek, their best friend Dylan, Tyler's girlfriend, Crystal, and Crystal's best friend, Holland--all sharing the mutual fact that their parents were killed by the same man. After years of a deep hunt, tensions of the past are finally resolved, but Selena isn't. During these years, she's grown cold and ignorant, often shutting herself out to everyone and relying on her only escape from the world: art. Her apperance grew darker and her actions, though are for good intentions, appear as crimes. She's been misjudged and always cast in a bad light, so no one really knows her except for her family. Everyone's advised to stay away from the dark beauty who basically spells out trouble. But what if the most sheltered boy in town is truly, madly, deeply, in love with the most dangerous girl? Love is not finding someone perfect; it's seeing someone imperfect perfectly.Complete
