Roxanna Holloway has always been the kind of girl who moves through life on her own terms-graceful, guarded, and impossible to pin down. With her honeyed Southern drawl and slow-burning charm, she's used to keeping her distance, hiding the ache of longing behind razor-sharp wit and a dazzling smile. But everything shifts when she meets someone who makes her feel like she's crashing through the atmosphere instead of floating safely above it.
In Halley's Comet, Roxanna finds herself in unfamiliar territory: vulnerable, caught off guard, and slowly falling. Like the comet that only returns once in a lifetime, love isn't something she thought would come for her-or stick around. But the feelings that sneak up in quiet moments and settle into her chest won't be ignored.
As Roxanna navigates high school fame, the chaos of the Glee Club, and the sting of past heartbreaks, she must decide whether to protect her heart or finally let herself burn a little brighter. Told in lyrical, dreamy prose with notes of tenderness and regret, Halley's Comet is a story of first love, unexpected softness, and the girl who always thought she'd orbit alone... until she didn't.
Inspired by the song "Halley's Comet" by Billie Eilish
