Two faces of a coin.

ceilings_ Lizzy McAlpine Hughie Biggs never thought heartbreak would be the thing to undo him. But after Lizzie Young, everything feels wrong-her name, her absence, the silence she left behind. His friends tell him to talk, to move on, to stop shutting down. He doesn't. Hughie's never been the type to say what he feels. Until a late-night post on LiveJournal changes that. Kennedy Walsh has spent her whole life fighting to be enough. In a house where grades mean everything, one mistake isn't just failure-it's punishment. Pressure follows her everywhere, tightening with every test, every expectation. And then there's Hughie Biggs-the boy who gets it all right without even trying. She tells herself she doesn't care. She's lying. Online, though, it's different. Behind a screen, she can breathe. Write. Be honest. When a stranger responds to her words, it feels harmless at first. Just messages. Just honesty. Just somewhere safe to exist without being judged. Until the messages start to matter. Until the stranger starts to feel familiar. And until Hughie and Kennedy are forced to face the one truth they never saw coming- The person who understands them best... is the one they could never stand in real life.

Nora Hart grew up believing in love stories. Happy endings. Grand gestures. Rom-com moments that made heartbreak worth it in the end. So when the campus golden boy humiliates her by choosing her best friend instead, Nora is determined to make him regret it. Even if it means fake dating his best friend. Dean Di Laurentis has never cared about commitment. Not to relationships. Not to rules. Not even to his own reputation. But after one too many reckless headlines threaten his future on the ice, Dean needs one thing he's never had before: A believable girlfriend. Helping Nora get revenge on his asshole teammate should've been simple. A few staged dates. Some jealous looks. Nothing serious. Except somewhere between late-night phone calls, fake kisses, and stolen moments that start feeling dangerously real, Dean realizes he doesn't want to pretend anymore. Because maybe the girl searching for her perfect love story was standing in front of the right guy all along.
