The girl he wants is complicated. The girl she wants is under threat.
Sirius has spent the last decade perfecting the art of being invisible. Raised as a girl despite her intersex identity and masculine presentation, she finds solace only in the quiet rituals of baking and playing her guitar. But invisibility is no longer an option: her traditional, homophobic parents have saved enough money to force her to undergo "correction" surgery before the start of senior year. They demand she become the "proper young woman" they always wanted.
Then Evelyn moves back next door.
Evelyn, Sirius's charismatic childhood best friend , is now a successful social media star, effortlessly navigating the popularity Sirius desperately avoids. She moves back to town with her parents-outspoken LGBTQ+ activists -unaware that her mere presence throws a spotlight on Sirius's deepest secret and intensifies the family pressure.
As Evelyn's kindness and unwavering acceptance chip away at the walls Sirius has built, the childhood bond explodes into a dangerous, hopeful thing. But their reunion ignites new threats:
Noah, Sirius's brother, sees Evelyn as his ticket to parental approval and actively pursues her.
Maya, Evelyn's sister, is unexpectedly drawn to Sirius's quiet intensity.
The entire senior class watches, questioning Evelyn's relationship with the school's social pariah.
With the clock ticking toward her forced surgery , Sirius must decide if she has the courage to stand up to the people who raised her, claim her own identity, and fight for the forbidden love that makes her feel truly safe
