When Celeste Montgomery moves to Cork, Ireland, starting over feels more like starting from scratch. Navigating a new school is hard enough, but doing it while managing her autism, anxiety, and a complicated home life makes everything feel ten times harder. At Tommen, fitting in seems impossible-until she hears about a unique student-led support program.
Each morning, students enrolled in the Daily Affirmation Club receive anonymous messages of encouragement via text from trained peer mentors. It's simple, quiet, and private-just the kind of support Celeste might be able to handle. Reluctantly, she signs up, not expecting much.
But the messages she receives are different. Thoughtful. Personal. Sometimes even funny. Whoever is behind them seems to understand her in a way no one else ever has.
What Celeste doesn't know is that her anonymous mentor is Rory Kavanagh-her quiet, observant hallway crush and one of the club's most dedicated members. Rory takes his role seriously... even when it means keeping his identity hidden from the girl he's beginning to care for.
As texts turn into lifelines and connection deepens in secret, Celeste begins to suspect there's more to her anonymous mentor than he's letting on. But when truth and timing collide, both she and Rory will have to decide if the risk of being known is worth the reward.
