By day, Lara is a hard-working barista and an ambitious college senior counting down the days until she can graduate and dive into her dream career as a marine biologist. By night, she is the biggest fan of Vesper, the enigmatic, alt-rock star commanding the underground music scene. What Lara doesn't know is that behind the heavy stage eyeliner and roaring vocals is Soren-her quiet architecture-major classmate and the secret crush she has harbored since the sixth grade. As college graduation loomed just weeks away, both of them stood on the precipice of adulthood, their caps and gowns waiting, while their souls silently yearned for their dreams and gravitated toward a future they were aching to reach. When a misplaced guitar pick threatens to unravel Soren's double life, Lara is forced to see her best friend in a whole new light. Can their bond survive the colliding worlds of music chords and ocean currents, or will the pressure of the real world pull them apart? A sweet, moody, and poetic friends-to-lovers romance about identity, big dreams, and the music that connects us. #friendstolovers#secretidentity#altstyle#rockstar#marinebiology#college-romance#emo#bisexual#bigender#slowburn#dualperspective#creative-writing#comingofage#katseye-vibes#sweetromance
