About this book

Your childhood best friend was supposed to stay that way—the boy who felt like yours from the moment you could remember, until family secrets and lies ripped your worlds apart twenty years ago. Now he's back, transformed into a man you can't stop thinking about, except there's a major complication: he's taken, and the distance between you feels even more impossible than before. When fate forces you back into each other's orbit, every look and conversation crackles with the history you share and the feelings you've both been burying. Kennedy Ryan weaves a lush, emotional second-chance romance that asks whether some connections are simply too powerful to deny, even when everything—and everyone—says you should.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Spotify
yearningelectricbittersweettensionsmoldering

Nostalgic yet electric—childhood memories colliding with present-day desire. Sultry R&B, indie pop with longing vocals, and moody alternative tracks. The ache of history, the spark of what could be. Think SZA, Daniel Caesar, and Khalid's tender intensity mixed with confident indie energy. Complicated, intoxicating, unresolved.
