Breathe
Quinn Parker is the girl everyone thinks they know-perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect smile. But behind the polished image is a secret she guards so tightly that not even her closest friends see the cracks. Ryder Bennett has spent years pretending he doesn't care about anything, least of all Quinn. He used to make her life miserable in middle school, and she's never forgiven him for it. Except now, the more time they spend in the same orbit, the harder it is for either of them to ignore the pull. They argue. They tease. They cross lines and retreat. And somewhere in between late-night conversations, stolen car rides, and the weight of things unsaid, Quinn starts to realize Ryder isn't who she thought he was-and maybe she isn't either. In a world where appearances matter and silence feels safer than honesty, two people who were never supposed to trust each other might be the only ones who actually can.
