Madisen and Noah unexpectedly wind up as roommates in Viña del Mar, Chile when Noah's host family drops out of the exchange program. Sweet, gorgeous and down-to-Earth Madisen is happy to share her living quarters with a familiar friend, unaware that Noah has harbored a massive crush on her for over a year. 

With his reserved and unemotional exterior, Noah manages to mask his ever-ripening feelings for Madisen, who is accustomed to ignoring and evading most male attention. Navigating cultural mishaps, communication challenges and an unfamiliar, somewhat disorganized university system together, the pair quickly grow close.

After reflecting on things from a different perspective-quite literally, upside down-during one picturesque afternoon at a vineyard, Madisen begins to consider whether her deep fondness for Noah could mean something more.

❝You'll always be the Golden Boy, but deep down, you're just an empty trophy.❞ **** Natalia Winters knows all about second place. For years, she's been clawing her way to the top-meticulously planning, studying until her vision blurs, and sacrificing sleep for success-all to keep up with everyone else's effortless brilliance. She's the girl who never feels good enough, who measures her worth against grades and achievements, who works twice as hard just to avoid falling into the void of mediocrity. And at every step of the way, there's Noah West: her lifelong rival, her mirror image of perfection, and her greatest source of frustration. Now, as senior year hurtles toward its finale, Natalia is determined to prove she's more than second best. But when Leo Martinez-Noah's best friend and the kind of charming that feels effortless-enters the picture, Natalia starts to believe she might deserve more than a life spent measuring up. Caught between her relentless pursuit of success and the whirlwind of complicated feelings she's been avoiding, Natalia must confront the truth she's been running from: what if being perfect isn't what she wants? And what if the boy she's spent years trying to beat has been on her side all along?

IN THE GUY'S POINT OF VIEW FROM CHAPTER 1 ON ~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm a product. I'm a creation. I'm what others wanted and never what I needed, but it's gone on too long to truly change any time soon. I've succumbed to a routine lifestyle, and it's scary to give into your biggest fear every day. "So, who's the real Noah?" She asks and I'm surprised, drawing my attention back to her. "Wouldn't know. I've never met him before." My voice is a little hoarse from speaking the truth. I haven't really said this out loud before. Because... I don't really know who I am. "Well. We're gonna find him, you and I." "Are you sure about that?" I ask and she grins, holding her pinky finger out as a promise and I wrap my own around hers. "I wanna be the second person to meet the real Noah." She says with a nod like it's the final decision. "And who's the first?" I ask with amusement lacing through my words. "You." #1 in #malepov 4/19/20
