"You're the feeling of wearing your favorite sweater, standing on a balcony, and watching the sunrise. You're the feeling of hugging someone you haven't seen in forever. You're the feeling of sipping on a mug of tea that isn't too hot or too cold, but just right. You're the rush of adrenaline that you feel when you're screaming your lungs out at a concert. You're the surge of happiness that runs through your body when you're laughing with your best friend. You're sunshowers. You're a summer breeze. You're everything that I love."

Fifteen-year-old Elijah Casey is lost. He's empty. He's hollow. He knows he needs to get out, but he doesn't know where to go. He doesn't have anything or anyone to bring with him. All he knows is that he feels like he's waiting for something that isn't going to happen and he's just about done.

Until James Lovel shows up. He seems to know a lot more about life and even Elijah than Elijah himself does. He's quirky, he's charming (sometimes), he's pretty troubled, and he's the best person Elijah Casey has ever met.

Jack Reid thought he had all the time in the world to figure things out like how to win over Mia Sinclair, the girl he's been hopelessly in love with since freshman year. But senior year is flying by, and Mia still looks at him like he's nothing more than a punchline. All his grand gestures, cheesy jokes, and late-night confessions have gotten him nowhere. It's fine, though. Jack's always had Quinn Stephens, his best friend since forever. She's the one who knows him better than anyone, the one who calls him out on his ridiculous plans, and the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when things with Mia inevitably fall apart. But lately, Jack's started to notice things about Quinn he never did before the way her laughter lingers in his head, how her eyes catch the light just right, and the way her voice feels like home. For the first time, Jack begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Maybe Mia isn't the girl of his dreams. Maybe it's Quinn. Maybe she's been the one all along.

And some love stories don't get the ending you think they will. Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems is a bittersweet, unforgettable tale about love, loss, and realizing what matters most before it's too late.

For My Own Good

13 parts Ongoing Mature

-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.
