Strawberry Romance Series #1 Sierra Pearl Zalvidar prefers to stay out of the spotlight. She keeps her distance from people who get too close. But when she's grouped with a mix of loud personalities and quiet charmers for a school project, her carefully built walls begin to crack. What starts as casual group work slowly turns into something more... Laughter, late-night chats, and moments she never expected to care about. In a world of missed signals and unspoken feelings, Sierra has to face the one thing she's always avoided: being truly seen. Almost Noticed is a coming-of-age story about friendship, timing, and the quiet moments that change everything.
