She thought love would be enough. Until it wasn't. Then she met someone who showed her what it really meant. 17-year-old Leilani had her future mapped out-college dreams, a tight circle of friends, and a boyfriend who made her feel seen. Her crew was solid: Zari, her stylish, outspoken bestie since middle school, and Aaliyah, her ride-or-die who always knew when something was wrong before Leilani even said a word. But when a missed period turns into a pregnancy test and her boyfriend's promises turn into silence, Leilani's world begins to unravel. Thye heartbreak deepens when she discovers Zari had been sneaking around with her boyfriend behind her back-while they were still together. The betrayal cuts deep, leaving Leilani questioning everything she thought she knew about love and loyalty. Just when she's ready to give up on love, Isaiah walks into her life-quiet, grounded, and nothing like the boy who broke her. After losing his older brother to street violence and transferring schools to escape the weight of grief, Isaiah keeps to himself, sketching in notebooks and avoiding drama. But something about Leilani draws him in, and slowly, he begins to let her see the parts of him he thought he buried. With Aaliyah by her side and Isaiah showing her a love that feels safe, Leilani must navigate the chaos of teen motherhood, the sting of betrayal, and the fear of trusting again. In a world that doesn't love anymore, she'll have to find her voice, her strength, and the courage to love again-starting with herself.

" if it's real love, you'll always find your way back to eachother".
