SOLITAIRE

My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but thats all over now.

Now theres Solitaire. And Michael Holden.

RADIO SILENCE

What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong

Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret not even the person she is on the inside.

But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.

I WAS BORN FOR THIS

For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Arks fandom has given her everything she loves her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.

Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. Hes their frontman and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.

But dreams dont always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.

LOVELESS

It was all sinking in. Id never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had evermet. What did that mean

Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic shes sure shell find her person one day.

Is she destined to remain loveless Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along
