When Sarah's world falls apart and she's forced to start over at a new school, the last thing she expects is to fall hard for Angel Moreno—a charismatic guy who seems almost too perfect to be real. But as their connection deepens into something neither of them saw coming, Sarah faces an impossible situation: the one person she's been holding onto from her old life is her best friend Sydney, and Angel has some pretty strong opinions about boys and girls being able to stay just friends. Caught between a budding romance that feels like everything and loyalty to the person who means the most to her, Sarah has to figure out how long she can keep the truth hidden before it all comes crashing down. This is a swoon-worthy coming-of-age story about unexpected love, tough choices, and learning who you really are when everything changes.

Capture the tension of unexpected attraction and slow-burn connection—indie pop and soft R&B with whispered vocals, moments of breathless anticipation, and the ache of emotional vulnerability. Think Conan Gray, Clairo, SZA. Sweet but charged, tender yet conflicted.
