Novalee Marie Cane is an ordinary girl with extraordinary struggles. Life for her is a tangle of anxiety, sadness, and quiet battles no one sees - but when she's drawing, the world fades, and she feels seen, loved, and in control. A pencil, a blank page, and hours of escaping the chaos in her mind. Life outside her art? Complicated. Painful. Invisible. Until he shows up. A boy who sees her - the real her - not the quiet girl hiding behind sketchbooks and red-stained fingers. Sometimes, being seen is the hardest thing... and the most beautiful.

In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen. And maybe, just maybe, he might be brave enough to let someone see him for who he really is.
