Jessie Adkins dreamt about running away ever since moving to the nothing-ever-happens town of Newton Berry as a precocious primary-schooler.
                
         Ellis Adams dreamt of road trippin' across America ever since his next door neighbour Jessie invited him in to watch Ghostbusters after school, kick starting a love affair with movies.
                
        Now that college is over and with University looming in September's shadow, the pinky swear promise made years ago to travel together across the grand old U S of A before adulthood rains down responsibility finally becomes a reality. 
                
                Diners, drive-ins and dives are all part of the plan. As are Ellis' long list of movie locations, decidedly dicey motels and America's fattiest, fast foods.
                
        But all the rest?
        Not so much.

Killian had been away in California for two long years, but now he was back in his hometown of Nevada. His best friend Bree was about to start her freshman year of college, and he had promised to pick her up from her parents' house. Killian was surprised to see a beautiful woman waiting for him instead of the awkward, dorky girl he remembered from two years ago. The moment their eyes met, Killian could feel his heart racing. He couldn't believe how much Bree had changed and couldn't help but feel drawn to her. As time passes, the two best friends start to fall in love with each other. But through a video call, Bree caught Killian in bed with another woman, and she leaves him. Killian is devastated. He had lost the love of his life-his best friend, and he didn't know how to go on without her. For months, Killian was self-destructive and lost. He tried to forget about Bree, but he couldn't. Killian knew he couldn't live without her, and eventually, he realized that he had to make things right. This novel explores their relationship and how they navigate their feelings for each other, and the challenges of trying to turn a friendship into something more.

[WATTYS SPECIAL PRIZE WINNER 2024] Getting over your first crush seems impossible - especially when he's the star of the world's biggest movie franchise. *** Jess Wheeler is happily single and perfectly content with her simple life in Hemlock Landing, South Carolina, where all she knows is helping her mother run a charming Bed & Breakfast and picking on her superhero-obsessed kid sister. But Hemlock Landing isn't just Jess's hometown: it's also the birthplace of Bay Connor, the world's hottest movie star and Jess's first, most devastating crush. Meanwhile, Bay Connor's dreams just keep on coming true. As the youngest person ever casted in the leading role of an Origin Studios film, he is on track to become one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. But fame isn't always easy to navigate, and returning to Hemlock Landing for Homecoming Week seems like the perfect excuse for a much-needed reprieve. That is, until he keeps running into the girl that he thought he no longer had feelings for, and his life gets a whole lot more complicated. 🩷 Hollywood glamour meets small town charm in this friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity romance 🩷 ~WATTYS 2024 WINNER • CATCHIEST HOOK~
