River Hart has spent his entire life walking a path already chosen for him. With a mother and grandmother who built successful careers in law and an acceptance letter from Stanford Law sitting in his inbox, everyone seems certain about what his future will look like.
Everyone except River.
When a stranger mysteriously gains access to a private note he's been writing in for years, his first instinct is panic. The note contains everything he's never been brave enough to say out loud-his fears, frustrations, dreams, and the growing certainty that the future everyone wants for him isn't the future he wants for himself.
The stranger should leave.
Instead, they reply.
What begins as a single message soon becomes late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection River never expected. Hidden behind a screen, the anonymous stranger quickly becomes the one person who truly understands him.
But some secrets are easier to confess when no one knows your name.
As the messages grow more personal and feelings become impossible to ignore, River is forced to confront a question he's avoided his entire life:
What happens when the person who knows you best is someone you've never met?
