Calypso Buchanan and Adam Dumitresco have been friends since they were wee little ones after discovering their mutual love for making up stories and writing. At the age of 17, Calypso and Adam get their first book published together. After 6 months of many accreditations, high appraisals from critiques, and earning thousands of book loving fans, Adam dies from a triggered genetic heart disorder. Calypso is then forced to deal with the grief over losing her best friend, what she wants to do with her future, and the stubborn fans who are begging her to write another story but Calypso realizes she just can't because writing isn't her absolute passion.

In the midst of it all, Finn Alden, a destructive boy of Calypso's past, has been forced off his high school's baseball team after his recovery from tearing his ACL in a preseason game takes too long for the coach to reserve his spot. Finn struggles with the pressure of his father over losing his place on the baseball team and his unraveling family. Now with too much free time, Finn decides to re-enter Calypso's life when he sees her from afar one day. 

With a hurting heart, Calypso let's Finn into her world of surfing, books and music but will Finn's cataclysmic nature only bring her more pain? Or will a new stranger teach Calypso the true meaning of healing?

Blue Belt by jbrandt70

Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.
