Eva Shaw's junior year falls apart when she sees a website dedicated to making fun of Cathy, a reclusive student, and does nothing about it. Eva watches the posts pop up every night and doesn't speak a word.
  
  But when she accidentally gets closer to Cathy, it slowly gets tougher to keep quiet about the bullying she witnesses each day. Cathy seems to be pulling further away from everyone and has no desire to bring a teacher into her mess and make things complicated. But Eva is finding it harder to keep quiet with all the guilt building up around her and when she finds out the creator of the website is much closer to her than she thought, doing the right thing seems almost impossible. 
  
  With her 'friends' telling her to keep quiet, Cathy falling away and her own guilt pulling at her, Eva has to decide if speaking out is really worth it or if she should just listen to everyone and stay a simple bystander.

Ethan Parker is just starting his senior year of high school, a time that's supposed to be filled with excitement, anticipation, and a little bit of chaos. But for Ethan, this year is different-it's a year of self-discovery and hidden struggles. Growing up in a small, close-knit town where everyone knows each other, Ethan has always felt the pressure to conform and meet everyone's expectations. But deep down, he's grappling with a secret he's not ready to share with the world: his confusion about his sexual identity. As rumors about Ethan and his new friend, Chris, begin to swirl around school, Ethan's world quickly turns upside down. Caught between the harsh judgments of his peers and his own internal battles, Ethan finds himself questioning who he is and where he fits in. His close-knit group of friends-Jenna Thompson, Liam Carter, Aiden Murphy, and Sophie Patel-stand by his side, offering unwavering support and encouragement. However, even their loyalty can't shield him from the pain of navigating high school while wrestling with his true self. Amid the taunts and gossip, Ethan must confront his feelings and decide whether to reveal his truth or keep hiding behind a mask of uncertainty. As the days turn into weeks and weeks into months, Ethan's journey becomes one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the struggle to embrace his identity in a world that doesn't always understand. Beneath the Surface is a poignant story about the fear of being different, the courage it takes to be yourself, and the power of friendship to help you find your way. In his final year of high school, Ethan must decide whether to let the waves of rumor and doubt pull him under or to rise above and be true to who he really is.
