Esther Tomko is hiding a huge secret. Even from her best friend. It is an unwritten rule that siblings of your friends are off-limits. And yet she couldn't stop herself from falling for the charmingly smart volleyball captain Josephine "Josie" Bennet after meeting her at her best friend's house in freshman year of high school.

Now, when their last year is just around the corner, she decides she finally needs to move on from her by spending time buried in art and looking for another girl to steal her attention away.

However, her plans take a detour when she walks into a room she most definitely shouldn't be in and finds out someone else is also keeping a secret from the people in her life. Who was once unreachable moves up to the same step. 

Hiding Esther's secret becomes much harder when that one faithful night starts a series of events that bring them closer together.

It was all supposed to be just a simple crush.
