But then she started texting her department's most unexpected distraction-the captain who barely spoke in the group unless it had to do with football. Now? It's looking like she's handed her heart out like a penalty kick-with no keeper in sight to protect the net. She says she's joking. He says she's confusing. But between suspicious emojis, random 'you sef' replies, the line between "vibe" and "attachment" is beginning to blur.

Cecilia doesn't do romance. She does lipstick, control, and emotional self-sabotage. But when a first date turns into a weekend away with a stranger named Eli, she finds herself slipping - not into love, but into something far more dangerous: vulnerability.

Perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Ottessa Moshfegh, and hot people with cold hearts.
