Nayeli Vareni has spent her entire life looking up. Up at the luxury apartments her parents clean, the people who never learn her name, and at a world she was never meant to belong to. When a fully funded scholarship lands her in the city's most prestigious private university, she seizes the chance to become someone new. Armed with designer hand-me-downs, carefully crafted lies, and enough determination to outrun her past, Nayeli climbs effortlessly into the circle of the rich and untouchable. Then she meets Elian Celmont: a campus royalty, a professional insomniac, and a walking disaster, yet somehow still charms everyone around him. As unexpected friendships form and a slow-burn romance begins, the line between the girl Nayeli pretends to be and the one she really is starts to blur. And when the perfect illusion begins to crack, Nayeli will have to decide whether the life she built on lies is worth losing the people who know her by name.
