BOOK 1 - imperfect for you series Mavin Keller has a plan: survive senior year, save for college, and never let anyone close again, until Sonnie Hale walks into his life. *** Mavin spends his days counting down the moments until he can finally leave his town behind, working long shifts and coming home to a house that never feels like home. He's learned to keep his head down and his heart quiet. But then he meets Sonnie - the boy with too much light in his eyes and bruises on his skin. After Mavin steps in to stop a group of bullies, he doesn't expect Sonnie to start showing up everywhere - in the hallways, after class, even online. What begins as awkward avoidance turns into late-night laughter, small rebellions, and a friendship that could bloom into something more. Something Sonnie wants. But Mavin is wary, because his past isn't done with him, especially Jaxx, the boy he once loved, the one who left him shattered. When old wounds resurface and truths come to light, Mavin must choose between staying safe in the dark or reaching for the boy who might finally make him feel seen.

Ian has always had one goal and one goal only-to get drafted for the National Hockey League. Nothing has ever thrown him off course from this, except for one boy from his past who he used to do figure skating with. Finn never liked hockey. The only reason he joined the team was to look at cute guys, start some fights on the ice (because it looked fun), and to learn more about the boy who mysteriously left figure skating class one day years ago and never returned. When Ian gets tasked with training Finn so that they can actually be a decent team and get to nationals this year, they rediscover their mutual love for figure skating, despite Ian's dad forcing him to stop years ago, and Ian finds himself regretting ever leaving it for ice hockey. Despite refusing to ever allow himself to fall in love ever again, Finn gets dangerously close to breaking that boundary. The closer they get to nationals, the more their bond grows, and the more Ian finds himself distracted from this goal he had set years ago, because of the boy who brought back a spark in Ian he thought he'd lost forever. Now, Ian has to make the decision whether he wants to keep this newfound bond, or risk losing it forever for something they might not even win anyway. ***
