Lily has spent years perfecting the art of invisibility - blending into hallways, hiding behind earbuds, and quietly loving her best friend Josh from a safe, comfortable distance. But when sophomore year begins, she decides that this is the year she stops waiting and starts living. What starts as a bold new look and a kiss meant to spark jealousy quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Josh isn't as straightforward as she thought. Ella isn't the villain she seemed. And Mason Adams - the boy she wrote off as a bad reputation with a charming smirk - turns out to carry wounds deeper than anyone realized, and feelings for Lily that have been building since freshman year. Set against the backdrop of high school parties, bathroom confessions, and the quiet magic of a school auditorium, The Year Everything Changed is a story about first love, messy friendship, and the courage it takes to stop performing and actually feel something. Because sometimes the biggest role you'll ever play is yourself - and the hardest lines to say are the ones that are completely, terrifyingly true.

Freya has lived in Los Angeles since she was born, next to her mother's best friend Felicia and her family. Freya never got along with their son, Malachi Barton, but they have to work with each other whether they hate each other or not. The thing is they start realizing their hate was never... hate.
