Sweet-Lunar0823
After a painful year at university, nineteen-year-old Taylor hopes summer break will finally bring her peace. Away from the rumours and heartbreak, she begins to heal- especially with Ethan, her gentle, patient best friend, by her side. Their friendship deepens into something warm and unexpected, filled with quiet moments, soft affection, and the kind of safety Taylor thought she'd never feel again.
But just as Taylor starts to move forward, Ryan reappears wanting forgiveness. His apology stirs old emotions she isn't ready to face, leaving her torn between the past that hurt her and the future that's beginning to feel hopeful.
As summer unfolds, Taylor must decide who she is becoming- and whether she's ready to let Ethan into her heart for real. When the break ends and they return to university, everything she's learned will be tested.
A tender young-adult romance about healing, trust, and the moment two nineteen-year-olds realise their connection is becoming something more.
