A neurodivergent-coded YA romance about a quiet girl, a popular band boy, and a whole lot of unspoken feelings.
Wendy Brooks shows up at Westbrook High hoping to blend into the background, but silence has a way of making her stand out.

One wrong turn, one too-loud hallway, and one infuriatingly magnetic boy - Kai Mercer- later, she's somehow tangled in new friendships, unexpected attention, and emotions she never volunteered for. With dance as the only place her voice feels real, Wendy discovers that even the quiet girl can steal the spotlight in someone else's story - especially when that someone is Kai who could go low as starting a rumour about her just to see if she'd talk. She doesn't, which somehow made him twice as interested and ten times more annoying. Now they're stuck in this stupid push-pull of tense group projects, band-room encounters, and him staring like he's trying to read my mind through sheer ego.
