When eighteen-year-old Layken's world shatters with her father's unexpected death, she becomes the steady force holding her family together—even as she quietly falls apart inside. Then Will moves in next door with his charming smile and passion for slam poetry, and suddenly Layken feels alive again, connected to someone who truly sees her. But just as their relationship ignites into something electric and real, a devastating secret emerges that threatens to destroy everything they've built. Watching them navigate the impossibly painful space between what their hearts want and what circumstances demand is a beautiful, gut-wrenching journey about love, loss, and learning to be vulnerable when it matters most.
