Dana gets thrown into a small town where everyone knows everyone else and concerns themselves with everyone else's business. Katie Torres, daughter of a wealthy single mother, is your typical popular cheerleader who had everything she could have asked for in the world handed to her. Still, she's unhappy. A laid-back mom, attractive boyfriend, and everyone in town groveling at her feet aren't enough for Katie. When Katie finally meets her mysterious new neighbor from across the street, it's by waking up next to her in bed - but are Katie's initial assumptions about the night before what actually happened? Katie can't seem to escape the new girl, but that doesn't mean she has to like her. So why can't she stop thinking about her? They are two girls who are complete opposites. They're a lover and a fighter, a cheerleader and a rebel, and most importantly: lost and insecure.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

Straight To You by cammie_grace

"And it took me a while to realize it, but everything I've had to go through in this life, all the pain and sadness I've had to bear . . . well, its led me straight to you." • • • After tragedy strikes Morgan Scott's family, she finds her life changing drastically again and again throughout many failed attempts of starting over. It doesn't seem to matter where Morgan ends up, the secrets and pain of her past continue to haunt her, reminding her that "starting over" isn't nearly as easy as it sounds. Ending up in her father's hometown a few months after the day her life changed forever, Morgan finds her life changing once again, and she only hopes that this time will be for the better. It isn't until after a run-in with the town's golden boy, Jack Crawford, that Morgan realizes no amount of starting over will take away the memories of the past. What Morgan doesn't know is that Jack has a secret of his own that's eerily similar to hers. And what neither of the two know is that their secrets will unintentionally bring them together, reminding the duo that they aren't as alone as they often feel.
