Summary
Rumi never wanted college. She wanted to write stories, not live out the dreams of her late mother — a singer whose shadow she can’t seem to escape. Haunted by guilt over the car accident that took her mother’s life, and by the cutting implication from Celine that the accident was her fault, Rumi carries a depression so heavy she hides it beneath careful silence. She doesn’t believe she belongs in a dorm, at a university, or in anyone’s life at all.
Zoey is the opposite: vibrant, excitable, and endlessly talkative, using quirks — like her obsession with turtle videos and obscure animal facts — to mask the ache of growing up between divorced parents. Beneath her bubbly surface is a girl desperate for stability, for something or someone who won’t leave.
Mira, their third roommate, has burned her bridges completely, cutting herself off from her family for reasons she doesn’t easily share. She wears her independence like armor, but loneliness lingers beneath the sharp edges she shows the world.
Together, the three stumble into one another’s lives within the walls of their shared dorm and a love sparks that may save them in more ways than one.

Summary
“It definitely hot in here” Zoey chimed in as Mira walked in, not seeing that Rumi was trailing behind her.
“Now it’s even hotter”
Or
Rumi needs some roommates, and the restaurant Mira and Zoey work at needs a new sever. But how does that all fit together, can they all fit together. And they were co-workers, roommates… something like that for the history books

Summary
The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-”
Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.
“-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.
Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.
Or
Mira with Zoey holding her arm in a death grip: Hey, my girlfriend saw you from across the record shop, and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a vinyl?

Summary
The beach was supposed to be the end of it, but moving on doesn’t always mean letting go. Ellie didn’t know how to live with the pain she’d caused. She found purpose through Vanguard- an organization dedicated to finding a vaccine. Even if it’s the death of her. Abby found her place among the Fireflies of Catalina Island but not everything was as she’d hoped. Their paths cross as a new enemy stirs on the mainland. They’ll need each other to find the light in the darkness.

“You can make a cure?” Ellie heard her voice almost like she was under water.
“A vaccine. And no,” Dr. Gurly answered curtly, “But we know how to do it. First I’ll need a second opinion. There’s an old colleague of mine out west, ”
“I didn’t think you had any more colleagues,” Ellie said.
"Fewer now."
-“This guy said there were non-fungal people. The runners acted like they didn’t even see them. It was like they were invisible.”
“That’s not possible,” Abby breathed. Kline was cut off by the loud bellow of an AV operator off behind her.
