Essence, a sixteen-year-old with an anxiety disorder, has spent her life in the quiet suburbs of Connecticut. Sheltered and homeschooled, and yet she finds comfort in her LGBT+-friendly church and her close-knit world. A self-proclaimed try-anything-once kind of girl, she dislikes curse words, treasures her dog like a human, and counts an older woman as her best friend. Despite her innocence, Essence carries a quiet strength that belies her upbringing.
Blair, also sixteen, lives in the same town but lives a very different life. Attending a prestigious prep school, she spends most of her time with her lifelong friend group to escape the suffocating expectations of her status-driven parents. Blair's world is tinged with pain as she wrestles with her family's refusal to acknowledge her older brother or the tragic truth behind his death.
How will Blair confront the hidden reality of her brother's past? Can she find peace in herself? And as Essence navigates sudden changes in her sheltered life, will their paths lead to self-discovery, healing, and perhaps even love?

He tried to hide it from everyone else, even to his close circle of friends, but all of his plans started going south when he meets their new neighbor, Darren, a very handsome fellow who moved to Los Angeles with his family all the way from South Korea to live at the house on the other side of the road.

Agoraphobic Gwen Murray was scarred in a freak accident in her youth that left her with burns on around twelve percent of her body and many years of ridiculing bullying from not only children, but adults alike. With a history as such, it's no surprise that she isn't very well adjusted to going outdoors. However, as fearful as she is to face the relentless torment once again, she hates feeling as if her life is on permanent standby. All she's ever desired is true happiness -- don't we all -- and with words of encouragement from not only her therapist, but her little brother as well, she is ready to take another step forward. Although, what she hadn't expected was the person who out of nowhere joined her stark journey. Bookstore and cafe owner Michal "Brook" Bluestone was raised mostly in Israel, though her parents desired a full life for her and moved them to join a bulk of their family in the US upon her coming out. Years later, she has two thriving businesses, a giant family only an hours drive away and a network of friends. There's only one thing missing from her life -- love -- and now more than ever, she is ready to find what she deems her "forever girl" with how well life is going. Still, after using dating apps and all encounters failing, she fears love may not be in the cards for her until a skittish woman walks into her cafe, forever changing her world.
