Summary
Max is amazing. She’s kind, and talented, and smart, and pretty, and she sees beauty in everything. She should date someone who can match that. Someone who would like, take her to dates that aren’t always the movie theater or some random restaurant. Someone who would stay up all night watching her comfort movies with her when she’s upset. Someone who would slow-dance with her in empty parking lots at three in the morning. Someone who would send her stupid sappy videos every waking moment and say ‘us?’. Someone who would make her happy.
Instead, she gets a boring, sometimes weird and objectifying boyfriend who watches gore for fun and who’s just slightly better than the average guy, who makes her content.

Summary
Max wasn’t expecting much from a simple trip to the bookstore—until she found herself in a playful standoff over the last copy of a book with a sharp-witted, blue-haired stranger. What started as a small, ridiculous moment lingers in Max’s mind longer than she’d like to admit, setting the stage for an unexpected connection she never saw coming.

Summary
Ten years after Arcadia Bay, Max accepts a job position as an artist-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University in Vermont. Right as the winter semester is about to end, Max’s new close friend Safi dies at the same time someone rips the timeline into two halves; one where Safi is alive, and one where she isn’t. Max has to figure out who on campus ripped apart time (and therefore is time-touched like Max is), what it has to do with Safi’s death, and mend the timeline, all before another storm occurs.

“You never really talk about why you came here.”Christ, what is she even doing here? Max asks herself that question a lot. If being a mentor makes her so uncomfortable, why did she take the job? Why Vermont of all places? Max doesn’t know why the things that make her squirm draw her in like this, why she’s attracted to the feeling of her own fear and discomfort. She wasn’t always this way, but when she tries to go back and point out when she started feeling this pull, she’s not sure she can pin a date to it.
“One of these days I’m going to find out what you’re running from, Max Caulfield.” said Safi. “That’s a promise.”

Summary
Home, Max thought. What does that even mean?
She used to think Chloe was her home. She had been so sure of that. But after they split up, that certainty had crumbled from beneath her feet. Since then, Max has been grasping for something to call home, so she can stand on solid ground again.
It wasn’t here in the Congo, photographing violence and death on the blooded streets of Kinshasa city. But Max wasn’t sure it was in Seattle either.
***
Max takes a job as a photojournalist in the Congo, using her rewind to save who she can in the country's bitter conflict. After months on the job, she's forced to return to Seattle, to face a life which now seems so distant. Wounded both physically and emotionally from her experiences, Max feels like a ghost.
But unexpected help comes from the one person Max thought she wouldn't see again, and she begins to think that somehow, just maybe, she can find a way home.Bookmarked by lagonnaf

Summary
Six years after Arcadia Bay was lost to the storm, Max Caulfield is piecing her life back together. She’s found solace in Amanda, whose love feels steady and safe, offering Max a chance to finally breathe. But when Chloe Price resurfaces just days after a catastrophic storm strikes Max’s campus, the calm Max has built begins to splinter.
Chloe—cool, magnetic, and haunted by the ghosts of their shared past—pulls Max into a whirlwind of old wounds and unresolved feelings. Together, they navigate the jagged terrain of love, loss, and guilt, where every step threatens to reopen scars long thought healed.
Max thought she’d moved on, but love is never simple, and some storms never truly pass. As past and present collide, Max faces a deeper storm within herself. Has she truly grown beyond the girl who sacrificed everything? Or is she still searching, not for closure, but for who she’s meant to become? And when love and loss demand answers, will she have the strength to weather what comes next?*
