The point is, Piper has to base this story off her life... But let's face it, she has had no experience her whole life; so, how is she supposed to handle the drama she never endured until now?
Follow her 50 guidelines on gaining, losing, and utterly failing at getting a guy.
Interesting... One friend, one book, four countries, four men, and zero experience. Piper Daniels, welcome to your nightmare of a paradise.

What I like about you
Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does. But that all changes... Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?Complete
Strangers. (DNF College AU)
Clay was a quiet college student. His friend group consisted of loud, outgoing people, meaning he usually felt left out or ignored. Clay either spends his time with his best friend Sapnap, working, or doing school work. His life was plain. It was boring. He was looking for any kind of change. George, on the other hand, wasn't quiet or shy at all. In fact, he was very popular on campus. He was outgoing and enjoyed talking to people. George is hiding a secret, though. Little do the people around him know, he's a famous adult video star. He streams these videos and receives a large amount of money from viewers. Little does George know that the seemingly innocent coffee shop boy isn't as innocent as he seems. (If any kind of sexual reading makes you uncomfortable, this is definitely not the book for you.) #4 in DNF #2 in DNF Started: January 11, 2024 Ended: January 31st, 2024 TW: Smut (obv) SA Drugs Alcohol Verbal/physical abuse Bad eating habits Self harm Homophobia R@pe Suicide mentions/thoughtsComplete
Inhale
*CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH SECOND REVAMP* Exhale, repeat. How far will you go? Ask Julian Laurence and he will tell you he is living the dream. Despite his flaws and overwhelming anxiety, Julian has everything he needs at school. Wealthy, privately educated, and surrounded by his friends; what more can a 16 year old ask for? But behind autumn winds and the second hand smoke there is something far more sinister. Julian finds his perfectly orchestrated comfort turned inside-out as a new student arrives, and old stories return. There is only so much the human spirit can take. A slow burning story of love, grief, and mystery that follows observant Julian through his final years at school as his relationships with those around him are tested. As always, in loving memory of the real Josiah-Jean, who has breathed life into the beloved Josiah in this story.

Addict. (DNF ANGST)
Clay is a quiet college student. He mainly focused on school, only having a few friends. He didn't go out, he didn't party. He stayed in his single person dorm and studied. George, on the other hand, was the total opposite. A stripper and known player with a drug addiction, he refuses to keep to himself. What if these two very different worlds met?

England x Reader 2
You should probably go read the first book first. (Y/n) is a young orphaned woman with no record of her past family or parents. She was alone until she met her now bestfriend, Garry. He too has no record of his parents and they grew up together in the orphanage. One day when she stumbled upon a yearly festival which celebrates their country (which coincidentally shares the same name as her) and how it was colonized and became a part of England, (Y/n) felt like she shared a special connection with the festival and made sure to attend the festival every year. One of those years is when she saw a handsome man which she thought she remembered from somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it. Hopefully all of you know that most sequels aren't always as good as the original, that might be the case with this book, just thought I'd give you a heads up : PComplete

And Sophia is content to stay in the radius of her hometown in Brookline, Massachusetts forever and ever. Change is not a word that exists in her vocabulary. Sophia doesn't take risks.

JACOB SULLIVAN JONES doesn't know who he is. His estranged parents have tried to control his entire life according to their plan. He has two options, and picking one would be like picking a parent.

One whole summer on his own, no parents, no impending responsibility. Enter Sophia, who Jake falls in love with the moment he lays eyes on her.

Surf, sand, and crystal clear waters, there isn't much more you could ask for. Sophia's goal is to steer clear of any present danger, and Jake's goal is to jump headfirst into it.
