In the middle of messy college nights, loud friends, crowded kitchens, and the kind of exhaustion that settles deep in your bones, Lara Raj and Manon Bannerman meet by accident.
Lara is the kind of person everyone leans on but nobody really looks at closely. Funny without trying, caring to a fault, and quietly drowning beneath self-hatred she hides behind tired smiles, she's convinced love is something meant for other people.
Manon is impossible to ignore - loud, magnetic, reckless, and emotionally shut tighter than a locked door. She fills every room she enters with warmth and humor while secretly carrying grief she's never learned how to survive.
What starts as flirtation and late-night conversations slowly turns into something deeper. Messier. Dangerous in the way real love is when two broken people begin seeing every beautiful and terrible part of each other.
Through heartbreak, self-destruction, betrayal, grief, and the terrifying vulnerability of being fully known, Lara and Manon are forced to decide whether love can survive after seeing the good, the bad, and the ugly.
A realistic slow-burn romance about healing badly, loving deeply, and learning that being loved is not the same thing as being saved.
