First love doesn’t fade. It waits.
There’s a lot Ari never said to her best friend.
Like how much it hurt when he stopped talking to her.
Or how impossible it is to forget him, no matter how hard she tries.
After relentless bullying and a humiliating video forces her to leave her old school, Ari’s determined to disappear into the crowd at Hillcrest Academy. New hair, new rules, no drama.
But starting over isn’t easy when her next-door neighbor and ex–best friend, Micah, goes there too.
Worse, he’s her ride to school.
Micah’s the Academy’s golden boy. Popular, charming, and untouchable. Ari just wants to make it through senior year unnoticed. But when old memories start resurfacing and the distance between them begins to blur, Ari has to face the truth she’s been running from for years.
Some wounds never really healed.
And some hearts never learned how to stop loving.
