Aeris Rowe already had nothing-no friends, no real family, and definitely no love, unless you counted the boyfriend she never truly cared for. Then the cruise crash took even more from her: her foster family, her home, and that same boyfriend... who'd been cheating on her anyway. After getting sent to live with her supposedly mother's sister, she already loses hope in life. What hope is left for her? Nobody cared about her. ** Theo Hale has absolutely whatever he wants. A loving family, loads of friends, and the most amazing girlfriend. His life is glossy, golden, and perfectly curated. But when circumstances push Theo and Aeris into the same space-same school, same house, same routines-his picture‑perfect life starts to feel less solid than he thought. Aeris keeps her distance; she's already exhausted by everyone and doesn't want anything to do with him.

As their lives start to overlap, they learn that the person who's lost the most can still change everything. In the middle of the awkward interactions, Theo starts to realize his life isn't so picture-perfect, and Aeris might not be as alone as she thinks.
