"Anisa Shirani is . . . well, perfect. Of course, it's all a front to feed her own praise-obsessed ego. Behind closed doors, she is--some might say--a little slobbish and snobbish, and she works obsessively to maintain her God-given talents. Fate has favored her, but Ani knows better than anyone that fate is made by effort. And effort is a must, especially if Ani is to become a top-notch lawyer with a top-notch education and one day marry Isaac, total heartthrob and eldest son of the richest family in the community. A perfect girl deserves a perfect life, and Ani's perfect life is going exactly the way it should . . . Until Ani's parents announce they're getting divorced. Until Isaac shows all the signs of . . . cheating. Sort of. Until she starts catching feelings for Marlow, an overly friendly weirdo she's hated since the moment she laid eyes on him in class. How can fate be so wrong?"--Provided by publisher.

Built a working wind power system from scratch.

So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.

It doesn't take long for ambitious freshman and aspiring engineer Jessie Ahuja to learn about two university legends. One is the haunted history of Davidson Tower, where more than fifty years ago, two ill-fated lovers disappeared in a devastating fire. The other is Ravi Kumar, a privileged billionaire nepo baby who's aggravatingly charming and occupying more brain space than Jessie has room for. Things change when a campus prank locks them both in the old tower's ghostly library. There, Jessie finds letters from the fabled lost lovers, forgotten in a hollowed-out copy of Persuasion. One by one, the letters suck Jessie and Ravi into a beguiling mystery and an achingly beautiful long-ago romance destined to go up in flames. It's also drawing Jessie and Ravi--every bit as star-crossed--closer together. Can they overcome whatever fate has in store for them? Or are they just as doomed as the young lovers whose tragic end has become legend?.

When college freshman Grace Mendes reluctantly attends her first pillow fight match, she falls in love with the surprisingly gritty sport. Despite her usually shy, introverted, and reserved nature, Grace decides to try out for the Pillow Fight Federation (PFF), a locally famous league of fighters with larger-than-life personas like Pain Eyre, Miss Fortune, and champion Kat Atonic. They may battle with pillows, but there is nothing soft about these fighters. The first and only rule to pillow fighting is that the pillow needs to be the first point of contact; after that, everything else goes. Grace struggles with deep-seated body image issues, so she is especially shocked when she makes the competitive league and is welcomed into the fold of close knit, confident fighters. As her first official fight performing as newly crafted alter-ego/ring persona Cinderhella looms on the horizon, the real battle taking place is between Grace and her growing insecurities. What if people laugh or make fun of her? Why did she think she could pillow fight in the first place when she doesn't look like your "typical" athlete? Turns out, no one is laughing when Cinderhella dominates her first match in the ring. And as her alter-ego rises through the ranks of the PFF, gaining traction and online fame (and online trolls), can Grace use the spotlight to become an icon for not just others, but most importantly, for herself?.
