Hannah Price has perfected the art of going unnoticed. Quiet, careful, and happiest with her nose in a book. She's spent years avoiding the world while her neighbor clearly hasn't. Rafe Carter stays to himself after he lost his mother at 18. He's the boy next door who seems to collect girls, smiles, and chaos without even trying. He keeps his personal life hidden.
Sure, he's cute. Everyone knows he's cute. But Hannah learned early that crushes fade and annoyances don't, especially when his music shakes her bedroom wall every night.
When one too-loud song pushes her past her limit, Hannah storms outside to confront him. What she expects is an argument. What she gets is Rafe- calm,
completely unbothered-and suddenly interested in the quiet girl who always try's to stay away.
Their awkward first clash turns into a series of unexpected run-ins, shared glances, and accidental late-night conversations. As Rafe starts trying, really trying, to get to know her, Hannah is forced to admit that maybe her annoyance wasn't annoyance at all... maybe it was something she didn't want to feel.
But when the boy who has never loved sets his sights on the girl who hides, their worlds collide in ways neither of them saw coming. And Hannah must decide whether to keep her heart safe, or trust the noisy, ridiculous, irresistible boy next door with it.
