A friends-to-lovers romance...

Lainey Campbell and Ben Armstrong have just been dumped. Together. After witnessing each other's heartbreaking rejections, the two opposites strike up an unlikely friendship. Can men and women really just be friends? Lainey is determined to believe so, especially since she's not looking to repeat her past mistakes.

But as Lainey turns to Ben for comfort, the line between friends and more starts to blur. She finds herself drawn to his blunt honesty and independent nature. And while Ben may be nursing a broken heart of his own, he's always there for Lainey when she needs him.

Still, Lainey knows that falling for Ben would be disastrous. Wishing for her happy ever after with a man who is in love with someone else would only lead to more heartbreak. How could it not when she knows she'll never be the one for him?

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica
79 parts Complete
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
