Catch the Sun

When Ella returns to her hometown for senior year, she finds Max waiting across the street—her childhood best friend who's grown into someone she can't help but notice. Their rekindled connection feels like coming home, even as Ella battles the weight of her brother's notorious crime and the judgment that comes with it. As their friendship transforms into something deeper, both discover that love might be the one thing that helps them carry their burdens. This is a beautifully tender story about how two people can become each other's light, even when the world feels impossibly dark.
