Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

"Shut up, nerd." It's a phrase he's heard so many times that he should be used to it by now. As the school's quiet genius, Ethan prefers books over parties and the library over crowded hallways. The last thing he wants is attention-especially from the basketball captain who seems determined to make his life difficult one sarcastic comment at a time. Unfortunately, avoiding him is impossible. Between group projects, late-night study sessions, basketball games, rumors, and school drama, the line between annoyance and affection begins to blur. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's really happening between them. Because sometimes the person who gets under your skin the most is the one who understands you best. And sometimes "shut up, nerd" starts sounding a lot less like an insult... and a lot more like affection. (July 14th 2026) Most Impressive Rankings: 3️⃣ #3 in #comingout 3️⃣ #3 in #popularboy

Hi, my name is Oliver-well, at least I wish it was. I was born in a small town in Czechia as a girl. But as I was growing up, I slowly realized that the term 'girl' just didn't fit.

Long story short, it didn't work out. So here I am after those two years. I am 17 years old, pretty sure that I am a trans guy, but I haven't come out to anybody.

"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.
