Things go awry when a middle-class family tries to take in an orphaned teen. This is a humorous tale of a father's distress as he struggles with his family to do the right thing. Of course, "the right thing" is a subjective concept.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

The Way I Loved You ✓
She'd die for love. He didn't believe in love. *** From reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, to watching 10 Things I Hate About You, to listening to You are in Love by Taylor Swift, Emily Kingsley's life is a sum of moments she has spent after romance. Watching, reading, listening or daydreaming, romance has never failed to comfort this high school junior of 17 years of age. She has her own issues: self-sabotage, lack of focus in studying, randomly popping up acne and not loving the way she looked. But she could forget all that as long as she is reading about two people falling in love and finding their happily ever after. Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school. According to Emily, Landon is handsome, sophisticated, well-spoken and unlike any of the immature boys of her class who didn't get her at all. Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance. At the same time, her seatmate in chemistry, the rumored delinquent, grumpy asshole Nathan Callahan, makes fun of her romantic dreams. Can Emily ever find true love? Completed.

All That and Then Some
[WATTYS WINNER 2022] What's it like to have everything you ever wanted? To be utterly, ridiculously, completely HAPPY? Pretty worrying, actually. *** In this Watty Winning (!!) standalone sequel to "All Good Things", we visit Alice, her family and friends at the All Good Things cafe. A lot has changed in 5 years. Her marriage is back on track and steamier than ever... at least when there isn't a kid within earshot. Fortunately, the youngest is in the smelly grip of puberty himself and just wants to be alone. Their daughter, the entrepreneurial prodigy, went off to university only to return disillusioned by life, love and Kierkegaard. Good thing the cafe is still afloat... just about. It's hard to make ends meet when you're trying to change the world, one plant-based latte at a time! Just as things are starting to look a little dire, Alice becomes an unwitting TikTok sensation and kids all over the city start copying her moves. Now, a corporate chain wants a piece of the action and Alice will have to decide whether she can stomach a return to the soul-suck of corporate life in order to keep her dream alive.

The Struggles of life as a Moody Teen (A large collection of my angry opinions)
There are a lot of things in life that can really grind your gears - and it's apparent that as a teenager you have the ability to pick out literally anything and complain about it. This is not a story as such - more of a collection of niggles that can only be shamed and exposed through the wonder of writing. Things such as: The annoyance of one bar of wifi Why siblings are the reason you want to move out of home The struggle of spending time with relatives you don't care about And many more. So this "book" is more of a continuous blog - think of it as an archive of articles all vaguely pointing in the same direction. I hope you enjoy them and can relate to them as well xDComplete![A New Opinion [SBI+Tubbo]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/262146067-256-k377191.jpg)
