Everyone knows Maeve Morgan, she's the junior who can hit a softball farther than anyone else in the conference, the athlete college scouts travel to watch, the girl everyone recognizes-but almost no one actually knows.
Everyone knows Jackson Reid, too. He's been the starting varsity linebacker since freshman year! He's popular, confident, the kind of guy people assume has life figured out.
They're wrong.
When a semester-long science project forces Maeve and Jackson to become partners, they expect awkward conversations and shared grades not late night texts, weekend research trips, or finding pieces of themselves in someone they barely knew.
As the project brings them closer, Maeve begins to realize that the boy behind the football helmet is carrying more than anyone sees. And Jackson discovers that the funny, stubborn softball player everyone admires has spent years feeling invisible in her own home.
Some people become part of your life because you choose them.
Sometimes, all it takes is a teacher reading two names from a clipboard.
