Summary
After a massive solar storm turned the world into a desolate, hot, miserable wasteland, Todd Anderson is still looking for his brother he lost 10 years ago. What he finds is unexpected companionship and...rusty trucks that become his new home. Riding to his destination instead of walking for two months sounds great, except that he will have to navigate this group of six's friendship dynamics and where he belongs in the circle. One week. He just has to last one week, and he won't have to deal with this rowdy group of boys ever again.
Is that what he really wants, though?

Summary
Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.
But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.
Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.
Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.
Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.

Summary
As Neil fixed his tie in the bathroom mirror, pulling it so tight he was half-certain he'd asphyxiate before the night closed, he seriously regretted telling his father about Knox's connection to the Danburry's. Or, more specifically, Knox’s connection to one Dr. Danburry.
Alternatively;
Neil has a dinner scheduled with the Danburry's that he is absolutely not looking forward to. Little does he know that the dinner will have an extra guest attending—a "friend" of Ginny's from school, with sandy-blonde hair, powder blue eyes, and a notebook clutched to his chest.

Bookmarker's Notes
this is was so cute except for the usage of digits and Todd’s mischaracterization but that’s to be expected
quite well written actually

Summary
Dear T.A.,
Your voice kept me company last night. You made me cry, in the best way.
Please read Neruda next?
—Neil (the 8AM guy)As a soft-spoken college student with too many thoughts and too little confidence, Todd finds solace in the quiet hours of his anonymous late-night poetry radio show, Between the Lines. He never expects anyone to really listen—until someone does.
Neil Perry is everything Todd isn't: charismatic, popular, and the energetic host of Rise & Shine, the campus morning radio show that everyone adores. But when Neil stumbles across Between the Lines, he becomes captivated by the unseen poet who reads like he’s speaking straight from the heart.
Sticky notes begin to appear. Song dedications follow. And as the snow falls heavier outside, two voices begin to find each other through the static.
An Anderperry story about poetry, vulnerability, and falling in love with someone before you even know their name.

Summary
Fire was hot. Lightning is seen before thunder is heard. And Todd Anderson could literally see dead people, those were three concrete facts of life. It's the modern day and Todd Anderson, the youngest of the two Andersons brothers, anxiety filled, family disappointment extraordinaire, and ghost seer (though that last one wasn’t as obvious), is shipped off to Welton Academy. There, he plans to be compared to Jeffery, freak out about presentations in the bathroom stalls, nap at every moment possible, and ignore the ghosts inevitably haunting those hallowed boarding school halls.
What he didn’t plan was for the cute dead boy in his dorm room from the 1950’s to be so charming, or so goddamn persistent.
