BROKEN By Gideon Livingston Before he became a man, Kojo was just a boy trying to understand the world around him. Growing up in a small Ghanaian community, Kojo learns about life through ordinary things: school, family, friendships, football, laughter, fear, and the strange rules adults seem to live by. But behind the ordinary moments is a home that is slowly falling apart. After one night changes everything, Kojo, his mother, and his younger brother leave their home before dawn and return to Apagya, the place his mother once called home. For Kojo, it feels like a new beginning. He is enrolled at Apagya R/C, meets unfamiliar faces, and begins adjusting to a life that is different from the one he knew in the city. But leaving a broken home does not mean leaving everything that broke you behind. As Kojo grows, he begins to discover that family can be complicated, childhood can be unforgiving, and the people who are supposed to protect you can sometimes be the very people you fear. Told through Kojo's memories of the boy he once was, BROKEN follows his journey from childhood into manhood - through the moments that made him laugh, the moments he did not understand until years later, and the moments that changed him forever. Because sometimes, you don't realize something is broken until you are old enough to look back and see all the pieces.

I had seen him before. Probably hundreds of times. Same school. Same bus. Same familiar face among hundreds of others. So how did one ordinary glance turn into something I couldn't simply look away from? When did the corridors become my favourite places? When did going to school become something I never wanted to miss? And when did the smallest moments start becoming the ones I remembered the most? This isn't a story about a perfect love story, grand confessions, or happily-ever-afters. It's a story about a girl, a familiar boy, and everything that happened in between. A story of glances, little moments, unsaid feelings, and memories that somehow became too precious to forget. Inspired by real life, with a touch of fiction. Maybe some stories aren't meant to be lived together. Maybe they're meant to be remembered forever.

Elowen doesn't know when she stopped feeling things the way she used to. Maybe it was the loneliness. Maybe it was everything she never said. Or maybe she simply got tired of caring.

Mira Sen returns to Raghavpur to sell the house she has spent years trying to forget. The house is empty, the blue room is locked, and the rain has turned every memory into something she can no longer avoid. Then she meets Arin Rao beneath a black umbrella-a quiet stranger with a damaged lock, a shop full of kites and keys, and an inconvenient habit of staying when everyone else has already left. As a development project threatens the old neighbourhood, Mira and Arin find themselves drawn into a fight over houses, photographs, forgotten promises, and the people a city calls temporary. Between railway platforms, monsoon storms, heart-shaped balloons, and a room that has kept too many secrets, they begin to understand that love is not always about holding someone back. Sometimes, it is about making room for them to return.

Fatima has been through everything-from a failed marriage to a crippling lack of confidence. She thought she had all the time in the world to figure out her feelings for Mustapha Ibrahim. But when things became too real, too overwhelming, she chose distance over confrontation. Now, time is no longer a luxury-Mustapha is sick, and the man who once seemed invincible is slipping away. Once celebrated as one of Nigeria's brightest young architects, Mustapha built his career with unwavering confidence. He had it all-success, admiration, and the quiet hope that Fatima would one day be his. But life had other plans. His diagnosis changed everything, stripping him of control and forcing him to confront a future he never envisioned. Now, with fate pressing down on them, Fatima returns-determined to make amends and hold onto whatever is left of him. But Mustapha has already let go. He refuses to tether her to a love that may not last, to a future that might end before it truly begins. Yet, despite the walls he builds, Fatima refuses to walk away again. As emotions unravel and the weight of unspoken words hangs between them, they must face the truth-love alone cannot change fate, but it can redefine the moments they have left. A heart-wrenching story of love, regret, and the battle between holding on and letting go. This is "The Distance Between Us"

Bra in the Balcony Yes, my bra is in the balcony. So what? I'm 17, and my balcony has seen me more than anyone else has. It has seen me in my pyjamas, with oily hair, with a pimple I keep touching, with tears I don't tell my mother about. I sit there every night with cold chai and warm overthinking. My bra hangs on the chair next to me - faded, loose, like me on some days. I'm not trying to be bold. I'm just tired of hiding things that are so normal. And it's my simple way of telling that I grew up. My awkward silences, my body that I am still getting used to, my stretch marks, my fear about the future, my friends who are slowly leaving, my habit of checking my phone again and again even when no one has texted. This book is not about becoming confident. It's about being 17 and still feeling everything too much. I tell everything here. The way it is. The way I am. And one day when I will be 25, maybe with a job, maybe with a different life, I will read this again and remember - this is how it felt to be 17. If you have ever felt too much and too little at the same time - this balcony is yours too.

Time is running out, sirens are echoing through the streets, and Jenny must face down her fears to expose the truth-before someone else pays the ultimate price. Sometimes, the most heroic thing you can do is stand up, walk away, and say goodbye. (Wrote with 31h0pp3r.)
