Seventh grade is supposed to be just another year of school - but for Chloe, it becomes the year everything changes. She's never been the type to open up, especially to boys, but Gio is different. With his warm brown eyes and kind heart, Gio is the first person to truly make her feel safe, understood, and valued. From comforting her when she's sick to playing Roblox just to make her smile, Gio becomes Chloe's light in the middle of her darkest days.
But when friendship starts to feel like something more, Chloe realizes that love isn't always easy - especially when insecurities, misunderstandings, and the pressures of middle school get in the way. As their bond is tested, Chloe must decide if Gio is really the person she thought he was or just another lesson she has to learn the hard way.
When Gio Was My Light is a heartfelt story about first love, trust, and finding hope in unexpected places.
