Alex has learned how to survive by staying quiet.
At school, he fades into the background. At home, he faces a reality no one knows about. After losing his mom, Alex's world became smaller, lonelier, and a lot more dangerous - until a simple school project pairs him with Alexis, the loud, popular girl everyone thinks they understand.
But Alexis isn't who she pretends to be.
As forced conversations turn into real ones, Alex finds himself opening up in ways he never has before. Between awkward library sessions, late walks, and a Spring Dance that changes everything, two broken teens begin to realize they might be exactly what each other needs.
Right Next To Me is a heartfelt story about grief, first love, and finding someone who finally sees you.
