Cassie has her life mapped out: a steady boyfriend, a tight-knit group of friends, and a plan for everything. School, homework, sleep-repeat. Life is predictable, safe... boring.
Then there's Dean. Charming, effortlessly confident, and somehow always in the background, making everything a little more complicated than it should be. The kind of guy who doesn't study, yet still manages to ace every test, who teases without meaning to, who makes ordinary days feel a little... different.
Cassie isn't looking for drama, and she definitely isn't looking for him. But as the year unfolds, routines blur, friendships shift, and quiet moments start to matter more than she expected. What begins as ordinary life slowly turns into something she never saw coming... accidentally, of course.
A story about friendship, first loves, and realizing that sometimes the best things happen when you aren't looking.
