"What if the person you love most is the only one who can't see it?"
For as long as she can remember, *Ethan* has been her entire world. They share everything: late-night study sessions, inside jokes, and an effortless closeness that makes everyone else assume they're already together. To Ethan, she's his absolute favorite person-his most trusted friend, his safe haven, and completely off-limits romantically.
To her, every careless touch, every protective glare, and every casual smile is a quiet torture.
When another boy enters the picture, Ethan's protective instincts kick into overdrive, blurring the lines between best friend and something far deeper. Forced to navigate mixed signals, jealous silences, and unspoken feelings, she has to decide: is it worth risking their entire friendship to tell him the truth, or is she destined to stay hidden *before he ever notices*?
A sweet, heartbreaking, and relatable YA contemporary romance about the painful beauty of unrequited love, secret crushes, and the fine line between friendship and forever
