Summary
Leighton Murray has never been one to believe in soulmates, at least not in the way others do.
The proof is indisputable, sure, and she feels it with every injury she sustains that isn't of her own doing. The trauma link is damning, but she was never raised to put much stock into the whole phenomenon. In her world, people don't marry for love; marriage is a consolidation of wealth, power, and reputation, and that's just what her parent's want for her too.
So, when she runs headfirst into an exhausted PhD student at a coffee shop, she thinks nothing of it.
But then, she's there at dinner.
And then, her wallet is left behind, and Leighton is tasked with returning it.
The coincidences are stacking up, and Leighton's too logical to think much of it, but the universe may have other plans for her, and it's not going to take no for an answer.

Summary
Party girl and notorious heartbreaker Fatin Jadmani’s ego is shaken to the core when her summer fling dumps her just before senior year. It's the first (and, hopefully, last) time she’s foolish enough to take a chance on half-committing to a sort-of relationship. Worse: he moves on immediately. Even worse: he moves on to a nerdy nobody. Worst of all: the nerdy nobody is annoyingly attractive.
Shy, bookish Leah Rilke has been waiting her whole life for a rom-com worthy romance, and she thinks she’s found it with lacrosse star Kirin O’Conner. He's nice enough, even if he doesn’t really understand Shakespeare. And as for that bitchy but weirdly-intriguing cello-carrying girl she keeps running into around school, well, it’s an interesting subplot to her life, but probably irrelevant.

Summary
“I bet a hundred bucks I can hold out for longer than either of you think.” Fatin says, her smirk growing as she watches the look of skepticism on her friends’ faces. Holy shit, they really didn’t have a single ounce of belief in her word. The jokes on them, that just makes proving them wrong all the more fun.
They all nod at each other, the wager formed unspoken.
Fatin grins. “You’re fucking on, bitches!”
Because it was simple, really. Getting a guy was easy, staying with him for a couple weeks? Less so, but Fatin had a point to prove and a couple bucks to earn.
It was simple, really, until it wasn’t.

Summary
“Wait.” Fatin points her flashlight up at the ceiling. “Do you hear that?”
Leah strains her ears, and picks up on the faint sound of rhythmic thumping upstairs. “Yeah.” She chews on her lip, a nervous tick. “Not sure what it is, though.”
Fatin hums thoughtfully. This is the most effort she’s put into the investigation so far. Leah raises an eyebrow. Maybe working together won’t be so bad afterall.
“Do ghosts fuck?”
Leah chokes on air.

Summary
Fatin is sitting with her legs crossed over each other on the opposite end of the bed, and stares in awe at the girl she gets to call hers, “I’m getting jealous of the project if I’m being honest.”
Leah and Fatin started dating on the island, and now it's almost the end of senior year. Leah has to give a speech for English Lit and doesn't give any details to Fatin, who is really curious...
