WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork?

This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes.

Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

"...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?) where she writes flawed but wonderful stories about what it is to be a woman today.

Vasudha has always tried to stay grounded. She keeps her head down, her heart careful, her steps measured-yet somehow, life keeps slipping through her fingers. The tighter she holds her insecurities, the faster opportunities, friendships, and even moments of joy seem to vanish. • A dramatic best friend. • A few unexpected nights. • A quiet stranger she has met only twice before-brief encounters that left almost no trace yet somehow, they lingered in her mind. He was never meant to matter. But somehow... he does. And when they meet again, the world she thought she understood begins to shift-not in a single moment of fireworks, but slowly, quietly, enough to make her question everything she believed about herself. "Maybe she was never behind. Maybe she was just... growing." And more over the lesson she learnt from her journey that she needs to love herself first then open her heart for someone else fully. ***** About the story : •A soft, slow-burn story about self-doubt, healing, friendships, companionship, and finding your own pace in a world that never stops rushing. •Love is part of her journey, not the destination. •This story is about finding peace within and learning to trust yourself, step by step.

Sydny Vivienne Ynares grew up knowing how to hold it together. Born into a successful family, she was trained early how to write under pressure, speak with conviction, and keep her expression unreadable, even when her hands wouldn't stop shaking. Expectations were high. Always had been. First game. First live segment. Rival schools. A packed arena. She couldn't afford to slip. Not with that last name. Not with every eye in the crowd on the court and behind the screens waiting to see if she could live up to it. She thought she was the one doing the watching. Observing the plays. Analyzing the players. Owning the moment. But sometimes, the first one watching you is the last one you'd expect.

Maria teaches ballet as if emotion were a liability. Every line is perfect. Every heart, distant. The past taught her that closeness fractures what discipline protects, so she keeps her world quiet, controlled, untouched. Then Elijah entered her class. He is warmth without apology, laughter without permission, and kindness that refuses to stay superficial. But behind his brightness lives a quiet pressure - a dream inherited, not chosen, carried like a beautiful burden he is afraid to drop. Their connection grows in pauses, in corrections held too long, in conversations that almost happen. Not love. Not rebellion. Something more dangerous - understanding. This is a story about inherited dreams, emotional survival, and the cost of choosing yourself. Because some hearts do not break loudly. They fracture slowly. And sometimes, healing is the most terrifying act of all.

Ever Marie Orense thought she was too logical to be confused about love-until someone started to mess with her emotional code. What began as reminders and casual chats turned into something she couldn't quite explain. Will Ever be stuck between protecting others and debugging her own heart? Or is there a happily ever after coding? Trope #2 ©January 2026
