Genevieve has been trying to figure out her life since middle school, but she's always found herself only trying to please others. But how does she change that? How does she go against everything her mom taught her through lectures and actions? That making others content is more important than yourself.
But ever since she met her surfer friend Ozzie, he's begged her to question her "imbalanced" philosophy. And after the death of a close loved one, she must discover herself for the first time and ask herself the big questions.
Who *is* she? And what does *she* want?

Laundry Boy (Currently Editing)
Seventeen year old Casper Reynolds and his goofy laidback best friend Eric live and breathe surfing. Living in a busy tourist town in California right on the coast makes for a pretty crowded city, especially in the summer. Casper's parents just so happen to own one of the most sought out hotels in the city. So when they end up short-handed during the busiest time of year they ask Casper to help out. Instead of getting to surf from sunrise to sunset, instead of being able to check out the 'hot babes' as Eric would say, and instead of having the summer of a lifetime he gets stuck with a summer job. It doesn't help one bit when a mysterious grudge-holding girl ends up staying at the hotel Casper's working at. After a chance encounter that goes horribly wrong the girl obviously has it out for Casper. If personalities could be graded like school work Casper would be a solid C. He's average. He's not memorable or extraordinary or even remarkable. The mystery girl however would be an F as in a failure of a human being. She's mean, cruel, and simply unbearable. So what happens when Casper finds out the girl has secret? Maybe...just maybe he'll realize there's more to her than a rude, crude exterior. With couple heated arguments, sarcastic comments, and a little blackmail anything is possible. *Warning* ~This is my first book on Wattpad so, read at your own risk. It gets better as it goes along though. Enjoy! xx~ ___________________________________________ Hey!! Thanks for clicking on my story (hopefully it wasn't accidental haha). Anyways just a few disclaimers. 1. The original picture for the cover was off WeHearit and after a little picmonkey.com magic it turned into that. So yeah. 2. This isn't really a diclaimer but, whatever: Plagerism is a crime and it's just plain rude. All epilogues, prologues, chapters, and characters belong to me. They're MINE. Understood? Okay good. 3. This story wouldn't exist without Sammmy134's amazing idea so thank you so much!!Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. She lives alone at her family home and has top grades in all of her classes. But being a 17 year old friendless nerd comes with its disadvantages. The bullying gets worse every single day, driving her to self harm and suicidal thoughts. Aria learns more about popular boy, Jacob Rickson and starts developing feelings for the well known 18 year old. Jacob helps her come out of her shell and learn to be more comfortable and confident. Aria has to make a tough decision by choosing if she would rather be with Jacob and be bullied by her mind for eternity, or to leave and be left alone, exactly how she wants to be. -Strangers to lovers -Right person, wrong timeComplete
when we were BROKEN
READ THE TAGS, SWEETIES! If any of them sound objectionable, this isn't the book for you! (Seriously) He was a foster runaway looking for a place belong, only to end up a deadly mafia killer tagged Mad Dog. Through a systematic routine of punishment and reward, he grows into a specific niche with extreme anger management issues. Barely on the edge of control, Benjamin Masters was betrayed into a deep-cover government organization known only as the Agency. His life began to precariously spiral out of control when he met her. A runaway called Genevieve was at the very bottom of life's trash heap. Just escaping from a life of drugs, alcohol, and prostitution, she has no concept of what kindness and trust look like. While Masters isn't anyone's first pick for being kind, he saved her life when she's kidnapped off the street. Again. Waking up on a Colombian barge belonging to unscrupulous pirates hadn't been on his list of things to do, but now that they'd asked for trouble, he was going to show them exactly what he was capable of. What he hadn't anticipated was rescuing the woman too. Or taking her on the run. Or protecting her from everyone that tried to hurt her. Or caring about her. Now it's a race to see who gets their hands on the woman everyone wants.Complete
The Fat, The Thick, The Skinny, And ME✔
"Because you have parents that love you. You have parents that support you and yet you think your life is so bad just because stupid kids pick on you." "I... don't have it easy." I mumbled.

I'm not 'Quince the person'. I'm 'Quince the looser', the venting tool, the dirt beneath your feet." ~~~ Quince has been bullied, fat shamed, and terrorized by the people at her school ever since junior high. It hasn't gotten any better over the past years especially with being in a small town where a majority of the population were "model worthy." She was left out of place, but not for long!

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick / 2025 Wattpad Pride Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*Complete![Waves - Book #2 [completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/299374112-256-k105959.jpg)
Waves - Book #2 [completed]
Mason 🎸 My life's in shambles. Okay, that's a little dramatic considering that my band broke up. But I don't know what to do with my future, my career and my life going forward. So I do the only reasonable thing and run as far as I can go - to Australia. Nobody here knows (or cares) how famous I am. Especially Riley doesn't care. She doesn't even like me and has no problem telling me how much she thinks I suck. Riley 🌊 He's the most arrogant person I've met in a long time. Demanding, entitled and conceited. Charming and pretty too. Urgh. Mutual friends force us to spent time together again and again. I just can't escape him. I don't want him and I don't need him, yet he's the constant dripping that will wear away the stones I've put around my heart for a good reason. ~~~ Waves is a "we don't like each other"-to-lovers book with a strong-minded female lead who has to learn to allow feelings again, and a cocky and witty (maybe unlikeable at first) male lead with a failed rockstar attitude. But I promise he's sweet underneath it all. 18+ ONLY (strong language, sexual content, swearing etc.) Trigger Warnings (may contain spoilers): 🚩loss of a loved one 🚩mentions of drugs ~~~ I'll try to update twice a week, but without a schedule this time. I may throw in a couple extra chapters here and there depending on how writing goes. Love, Izzy 🌿Complete
