Their relationship becomes increasingly strained, and Yasmine finally finds the courage to leave him. But Zayn's not willing to let go, and this becomes a problem.

Now, navigating the drama of high school is even tougher when you're wrestling with autism and a debilitating phobia of touch that keeps the entire world at arm's length. Bella has built walls too high and too thick for anyone to penetrate-anyone, except for one person. That person is Max. Max is the only boy Bella has ever loved, and the only person she allows to break her barrier and offer a comforting hand. But Max sees Bella as his best friend, his safe harbor, and nothing more, leaving Bella trapped in a seven-year-long, agonizing friend-zone as he dates other girls. Enter Max's younger brother, the charismatic, persistent boy who sees the real Bella beneath her tough exterior. He's determined to break through her phobia and show her what true, reciprocal love looks like. As Bella navigates the minefield of high school, forced proximity, and her own deeply-rooted fears, she faces an impossible choice: Will she finally confess her love and win the boy she's devoted seven years to, or will his brother be the one to finally teach her how to let go and feel?
