"On the surface, we're polar opposites. Under the skin though, we're the same; people think they know what they're getting, and they're always wrong." - Veronica Roth
From the moment Kei Tsukishima first laid eyes on Nori Sato, the day that her family moved in next door, he knew she was going to flip his life upside down; and not in a good way. At least, not to him.
Nori and Kei are polar opposites; Kei is always cool, calculating, calm, and collected, while Nori is noisy, boisterous, hyper, and has a chronic inability to read social cues. Kei prefers to sit back, watch, and observe, while Nori jumps in with both feet, never stopping long enough to consider the consequences of her actions.
They're like fire and ice, and yet...they're inseparable. Nori has always been there for Kei, especially when his older brother, his biggest role model, wrecked his little brother's view of him and changed the way he looked at everything in his life. Nori has been a constant force...
But when Nori decides to do what she does best, and makes the impulse decision to reveal she has romantic feelings for the boy, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can he find the will to get past the icy, indifferent exteriors he has created in order to protect himself from disappointment? Or will he end up losing the only the thing that keeps his young life interesting?
She was the one that was going to teach him what affection was, what being loved felt like.
And he was going to teach her how thrilling a secret can be.
