Thrown together when they're assigned neighbouring desks at the start of a new term, the two quickly become friends — Charlie, an openly gay Year 10 who has weathered a rough year of being outed and bullied, and Nick, a good-natured Year 11 rugby player everyone assumes is straight.\n\nAs their friendship deepens, Charlie develops a crush he's sure can only end in heartbreak. Nick, meanwhile, begins to question feelings he's never examined before. Volume One follows the tender, halting early days of their relationship — first meetings, a snow day, a birthday party, and the small, brave moments that turn friendship into something more.\n\nThe opening chapter of Alice Oseman's beloved graphic novel series, Heartstopper is a warm, gentle coming-of-age story about first love, friendship, and finding the courage to be yourself.

There she meets Augustus Waters, a confident seventeen-year-old in remission from osteosarcoma who lost part of a leg to the disease and who is preoccupied with the fear of leaving no mark on the world.\n\nTheir friendship turns into a tentative, clear-eyed romance built on shared humor, a love of books, and an unwillingness to pretend that illness is noble.

At school Connell is well-liked and Marianne is a prickly outsider, yet a private understanding forms between them that neither is willing to make public. When both leave for Trinity College Dublin their social positions reverse, and the pull between them survives new relationships, class anxiety, long silences, and repeated misreadings of each other's intentions.\n\nSally Rooney charts the shifting balance of power between the two with unusual attention to the small betrayals and tendernesses that shape an intimate relationship. Money, status, and the difficulty of asking plainly for what you want run beneath nearly every scene, as do questions of mental health, control, and belonging.\n\nWritten in spare, present-tense prose that moves fluidly between the two characters, the novel is less a conventional romance than a study of how two people keep finding their way back to each other while struggling to say what they mean. It is a portrait of first love and its long aftershocks, and of the ordinary damage people do to those they are closest to.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz3pr95f2cejb0bvtzdh96n.jpg","LCB=tt.SVF.S*1WQaRorImInM|NG","3.53",296,[829],{"id":830,"slug":831,"name":832},"01kjr36ey7j8s2ratfqdpc0mnt","sally-rooney-qsg5","Sally Rooney",[834,835,839,840],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":836,"name":837,"slug":838,"is_fiction":20},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":522,"name":523,"slug":524,"is_fiction":20},{"id":245,"name":246,"slug":247,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":96,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":843,"themes":845,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[844,143],"reflective",[],{"id":847,"slug":848,"title":849,"description":850,"primary_cover_url":851,"cover_blurhash":852,"first_publish_year":717,"community_rating_avg":853,"community_rating_count":780,"page_count":854,"authors":855,"genres":860,"series":888,"enrichment":893},"01kjq6xfxmjv1fn3p3j0n03mk4","twilight-mjap","Twilight","When seventeen-year-old Isabella \"Bella\" Swan leaves sunny Phoenix to live with her father in the perpetually rain-soaked town of Forks, Washington, she expects little more than a dull, gray exile. Instead she becomes fascinated by Edward Cullen, a strikingly beautiful and aloof classmate who seems to alternate between saving her life and warning her away from him.\n\nAs Bella pieces together the truth about Edward and his family, she realizes he is a vampire — one who has chosen to resist human blood, but whose very nature makes loving her dangerous. Their bond deepens into an intense, all-consuming romance, even as Bella learns that not every vampire shares the Cullens' restraint, and that being close to Edward may cost her everything.\n\nThe first book in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster Twilight Saga, this is a moody, atmospheric teen romance about desire, danger, and the pull between what we want and what is safe. Told in Bella's earnest first-person voice, it launched a global phenomenon and defined a generation of paranormal romance.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz49bf0vzqzyc14gkdvamkn.jpg","LVMtN?f6_Nt7?bj[-pRj%gt7=|WB","3.77",498,[856],{"id":857,"slug":858,"name":859},"01kjq6xfxt84s0z7pvwvj5jd4g","stephenie-meyer-xeho","Stephenie Meyer",[861,862,865,869,873,874,875,879,880,884],{"id":632,"name":633,"slug":634,"is_fiction":20},{"id":568,"name":863,"slug":864,"is_fiction":20},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":866,"name":867,"slug":868,"is_fiction":20},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":870,"name":871,"slug":872,"is_fiction":20},61,"YA","ya",{"id":628,"name":629,"slug":630,"is_fiction":20},{"id":245,"name":246,"slug":247,"is_fiction":20},{"id":876,"name":877,"slug":878,"is_fiction":20},35,"Paranormal Romance","paranormal-romance",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":881,"name":882,"slug":883,"is_fiction":20},216,"Vampire","vampire",{"id":885,"name":886,"slug":887,"is_fiction":20},7,"Horror","horror",[889],{"id":890,"slug":891,"name":892,"position":171,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjstjx0xgn83amye43a8smy4","the-twilight-saga-q4lm","The Twilight Saga",{"pace":96,"complexity":7,"audience":646,"mood":894,"themes":895,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[649,101,582],[896],"forbidden-love",{"id":898,"slug":899,"title":900,"description":901,"primary_cover_url":902,"cover_blurhash":903,"first_publish_year":904,"community_rating_avg":13,"community_rating_count":780,"page_count":905,"authors":906,"genres":911,"series":922,"enrichment":927},"01kjrg3zv1w7h80stjtcskmp0c","the-deal-zdsd","The Deal","Hannah Wells has worked hard to leave a painful past behind and build a steady life at Briar University. She has good grades, a plan, and a hopeless crush on a boy who barely notices her. What she does not have is any idea how to get his attention—until she winds up tangled with the last person she would ever choose.\n\nGarrett Graham is the star of the college hockey team, a golden boy whose future depends on keeping his grades up. When he fails a midterm badly enough to threaten his spot on the roster, he needs a tutor, and Hannah is the only one who can save him. She refuses, so he proposes a deal: she coaches him through the class, and in return he pretends to date her to make her crush jealous.\n\nWhat starts as a transaction turns into something neither planned. As fake dates blur into real feelings, Hannah has to decide whether to trust Garrett with the parts of herself she has kept hidden. The first book in the Off-Campus series, The Deal is a warm, funny new-adult sports romance about two people who agree not to fall for each other and fail spectacularly.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjrg3zv1w7h80stjtcskmp0c.jpg","LDIg}=?]P.%}XRD%NGXS:jQ.0Mwd",2015,376,[907],{"id":908,"slug":909,"name":910},"01kjrg3zwp0rf8zrwpnhgs8vx9","elle-kennedy-xmsv","Elle Kennedy",[912,913,914,915,918],{"id":245,"name":246,"slug":247,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":128,"name":129,"slug":130,"is_fiction":20},{"id":718,"name":916,"slug":917,"is_fiction":20},"Sports Romance","sports-romance",{"id":919,"name":920,"slug":921,"is_fiction":20},207,"New Adult Romance","new-adult-romance",[923],{"id":924,"slug":925,"name":926,"position":171,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjrg3zztj502ky7cy9h9nbw7","off-campus-dbtn","Off-Campus",{"pace":96,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":928,"themes":929,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[412,649,298],[818],{"id":931,"slug":932,"title":933,"description":934,"primary_cover_url":935,"cover_blurhash":936,"first_publish_year":662,"community_rating_avg":472,"community_rating_count":937,"page_count":938,"authors":939,"genres":944,"series":952,"enrichment":953},"01kjq72m0av4t3dsgvwjebzmsz","people-we-meet-on-vacation-l2cp","People We Meet On Vacation","Poppy and Alex could not be more different. She is loud, restless, and happiest chasing the next adventure; he is careful, buttoned-up, and content to stay home with a book. They became unlikely best friends in college and, despite living on opposite sides of the country, kept the friendship alive with one thing: an annual summer vacation, just the two of them.\n\nFor a decade the trips were perfect—until the last one, when something happened that neither of them could take back, and they stopped speaking. Two years later, Poppy has the career she always wanted and none of the happiness that was supposed to come with it. Convinced that the last time she was truly herself was on a trip with Alex, she talks him into one more vacation together, hoping to repair what broke.\n\nTold across alternating timelines—the summers that built their friendship and the present-day trip that might end or remake it—People We Meet on Vacation is a warm, funny story about the fine line between friendship and love, and the courage it takes to risk one for the other.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq72m2t36t4q1vv8gwd448c.jpg","LPMs{a$~MJNF_RIqE%R:C6w1OaV[",14,480,[940],{"id":941,"slug":942,"name":943},"01kjq72m1v3y3x6my265z0bz7n","emily-henry-7uit","Emily Henry",[945,946,947,948],{"id":245,"name":246,"slug":247,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":128,"name":129,"slug":130,"is_fiction":20},{"id":949,"name":950,"slug":951,"is_fiction":20},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":96,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":954,"themes":955,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[412,649,298],[653,732,956],"dual-timeline",[958],{"id":959,"slug":960,"title":961,"user":962,"work_id":4,"is_draft":19,"verified_reader":20,"featured":19,"body":969,"overall_rating":245,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":970,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":971,"like_count":17,"comment_count":17,"top_likers":972,"viewer_can_reply":19,"created_at":109,"updated_at":109},"01kxeq219b3rq5ahybb31p2447","review-of-a-page-marked-for-murder-by-amber-trevino","Review of \"A Page Marked for Murder\" by amber_trevino",{"id":963,"name":964,"username":965,"avatar_url":966,"is_system":19,"published_reviews_count":967,"books_read_count":968},654,"Amber Trevino","amber_trevino","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Favatars\u002F654.webp?v=1783977692",1252,1408,"I won this book for the kindle edition from Goodreads. \nThis is the 5th book in the Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery series.\n\nYou differently need to read the series in order to be able to follow the charters better.\n\nI really like Addie and the way she always seems to find herself solving a murder. \n\nI like all the references to books in all of the series and I like the friendship she has with her co-worker Paige. \n\ni would recommend this series but again you need to read them in order.","none","rv-01kxeq219b3rq5ahybb31p2447",[]]
