Sixteen-year-old Lou is having a hard time moving on.
Ever since her best friends moved to Texas, everything feels different. The days seem longer, her neighborhood feels emptier, and the boyfriend she's been holding on to is becoming harder and harder to ignore. What used to feel like love now feels like something else entirely.
Then, during an ordinary walk through her neighborhood, Alex witnesses a boy wipe out on his skateboard after hitting a pebble in the sidewalk.
After helping him up and handing back his board, she learns he's new to the neighborhood. One conversation turns into another, and before they part ways, they've exchanged numbers.
What starts as a simple friendship grows into something Alex never expected. Between skateboarding sessions, late-night texts, and getting to know someone who sees her for who she really is, Alex begins to rediscover the parts of herself she'd lost.
But as her feelings for the new boy grow stronger, her toxic relationship becomes impossible to ignore. To move forward, Alex will have to decide what-and who-is worth holding on to.
