"What do you do when the person who knows you best - the one who remembers your favorite snacks, holds your hand when you're scared, and listens to you ramble for hours - is also the person who makes your heart race every time they smile?"
Jacob Andrew Lim is a Political Science student who believes in changing the world through policies and systems. He's logical, thoughtful, and always has a plan - except when it comes to Juliet Margaret Guidoti, his best friend of three years.
Juliet Margaret Guidoti is a Psychology student who dedicates her life to understanding people and helping them heal. She's warm, empathetic, and sees the best in everyone - especially in Jake, the guy who's been by her side through every storm.
They met on their first day of college when she spilled coffee all over his shirt. What started as an awkward accident quickly grew into a friendship that meant more to both of them than they ever admitted. He helps her stay grounded when she gets lost in her research; she helps him remember that politics is about people, not just power.
But when Jules asks Jake to be her partner in a research project about close relationships, old feelings start to surface - feelings they've both been hiding for years. Add in an ex-boyfriend who wants another chance, the pressures of their demanding courses, and the fear of ruining the best thing in their lives, and suddenly, being "just friends" doesn't seem enough anymore.
"Best friends don't look at each other the way we look at each other. Best friends don't feel this way. But what if we're more than just friends?"
