In her last year of high school, Eliana has always been driven by one question: why do people act the way they do? Obsessed with psychology, she's learned to understand the world-and keep herself detached from it. Surrounded by people who can't see beyond the surface, she's fought her way to the top, hoping to escape a life where every step is shadowed by expectations, secrets, and a relentless pursuit of control.
But when her school partners with Oxford, offering a spot to only the very best, things finally start to fall into place-until an unexpected rival appears. Calm, composed, and effortlessly talented, he's everything she isn't, forcing her to confront feelings she's long kept buried. Now, as they battle for the same dream, Eliana finds herself facing the most challenging opponent of all: herself.
