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.

For The Teen Turning Fourteen Diaries of a Teenager #1 Dearest reader, I'm Zielle, 14 years old. So... where should we start? Maybe, just maybe, like any other normal reader, you turn to page one, where my awkward phase of being a teenager begins. Though I think I never really got over that. Or to my other entries filled with my homesickness, crushes, random thoughts, and the little (and not-so-little) adjustments that come with starting over. Maybe you'll relate to me, maybe not. Maybe you'll learn something, maybe not. (I'm hoping that you actually do learn something though or I'll cry myself to sleep every night). Anyways, if you're still reading this... I hope you don't judge me and my diary.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

In 1905, Małgorzata Ośiecka is the privileged daughter of a Polish count living in Russian-controlled Lutsk. Raised in comfort despite her nation's loss of independence, she never imagines that revolution will shatter the world she knows. When political unrest strips her family of their wealth and forces them to flee their homeland, Małgorzata is thrust into a life of hardship far removed from the aristocratic upbringing she once took for granted. After immigrating to America, tragedy follows the Ośiecki family at every turn. Faced with poverty, discrimination, and devastating personal losses, Małgorzata must rebuild her life while struggling to preserve her identity in a country that views her as an outsider. Seeking a fresh start in the American West a young Blackfeet man whose people have endured many of the same injustices that her own family experienced. As their friendship deepens into something more, Małgorzata must choose between the expectations of her family and society or the future she wishes to create for herself. Spanning two continents and a period of profound social change, this historical novel is a story of displacement, resilience, identity, and the search for belonging in a world transformed by revolution and prejudice.

What happens when two people who can't speak the same language become the only people who truly understand each other? A fake marriage. A real love. A forever kind of us. Julien Moreau came to America chasing a dream. Instead, she finds herself facing deportation-with thirty days to leave the only place she has begun to call home. She has no lawyer. No partner. No plan. And then a stranger walks into her life. Ethan Hayes has no reason to help the beautiful French woman crying outside an immigration office. He doesn't know her. He doesn't speak her language. And he certainly doesn't expect to point at himself and claim he's her fiancé. But one impulsive lie changes everything. With a language barrier between them and an impossible situation ahead, Ethan and Julien agree to an arrangement built on rules: separate bedrooms, no unnecessary touching, no pretending in private, and above all-no lying to each other. It's supposed to be temporary. It isn't supposed to become real. But somewhere between French lessons, shared dinners, stolen kisses, family video calls, and learning the words that matter most, pretending starts to feel a lot like love. Then Julien discovers she's pregnant. And just when Ethan realizes he doesn't want a future without her, their carefully constructed life begins to fall apart. A report reaches immigration claiming their marriage was never genuine. Julien is facing deportation again. Their future is suddenly uncertain. And Ethan has one choice to make: Let the woman he loves walk away... or finally ask her to stay-not because of paperwork, not because of a visa, and not because they need to prove anything. But because he wants her. Because he loves her. Because she is home. They started with a lie. They found each other in the words between them. And now they have everything to lose. "The Words Between Us" is a heartfelt contemporary romance about strangers becoming soulmates, finding

Some encounters begin long before two people touch for the first time. Sometimes, the moment our hearts recognize each other, the danger has already begun.

n analysis of why some immigrants, particularly those of North African descent as myself, come to reject or distance themselves from their own cultural background and adopt positions that strongly oppose it. In some cases, this process may contribute to the stigmatization of the very minority they come from by reinforcing far-right stereotypes and validating existing prejudices. Such individuals may gain social or political capital by presenting themselves as exceptions to their group, even if doing so comes at the expense of their broader community.

Two versions of you, living two different lives, on two sides of a border. Sublimation by Isabel J. Kim had me hooked for twelve hours straight before the ending lost its footing. Doppelgängers, corporate intrigue, and immigration collide in this sharp sci-fi debut. Full review on Views She Writes.

Stories, for the most part, have good main characters. If this were to be a good story, the main character couldn't be Alice Noble, since she thought herself too boring for that role. Nor could it be Harry Connolly, who had just barely survived a horrific car crash and was sent to the hospital right after. But The Soldier from Harry's drawing. The drawing Harry gave Alice just before he entered that car only to get hurt in it later. Now, that character would make a great story, if Alice knew what she was doing. She could tell the story to Harry as she visits him in the hospital. And perhaps the magic in the story may heal him just as it heals her.
