Selene Cross has always felt invisible - the "unattractive" girl watching love pass her by. When she finally takes a chance on romance, nothing goes her way. Her longtime crush and neighbor, Adrian Wolfe, barely notices her... yet.
Determined to change her story, Selene begins a journey of self-discovery and transformation, growing more confident, charming, and ready to embrace life. Along the way, she builds unexpected friendships - including with Julian Wolfe, Adrian's older brother, whose quiet kindness begins to stir something more.
Then there's Zane Ashfort, the mysterious new boy who falls for her at first sight but keeps his feelings hidden, and Archer Reeves, the calm and dependable boy Selene meets during summer break, who quietly makes his way into her heart.
As Selene navigates high school, friendship, heartbreak, and self-love, she must discover: who is truly meant for her - and who she is meant to become.
