When Ruby bombs her audition at her father's prestigious music school, she sees it as the perfect escape hatch from her family's suffocating classical music legacy—until she meets Oscar, a charming YouTube sensation and actual musical genius who's determined not to jeopardize his chance to study under Ruby's renowned composer father. As the New York City summer sizzles around them, their connection becomes impossible to ignore, crackling with an energy that matches the city's electric pulse. But with Oscar acutely aware of how the classical music world might judge their relationship, and Ruby still figuring out who she is outside her family's shadow, they face an impossible question: can they find a way to be together, or will the world decide for them? This witty, character-driven romance captures that perfect summer feeling where anything seems possible—even love.
