Dan Hyatt has always been comfortable flying under the radar. Quiet, cautious, and more at ease behind a piano than in the spotlight, he never expected much from senior year-until he's partnered with Sam Michelson for a school initiative neither of them can back out of.
Sam is everything Dan isn't: confident, loud, magnetic. But as the two are forced to spend time together, what begins as reluctant teamwork grows into an unexpected friendship... and maybe something more.
Navigating friendship, pressure, and the weight of being seen, Dan and Sam find themselves caught in the spaces between who they've always been and who they're learning to become. With the support of their messy, wonderful circle of friends, they face a year of awkward moments, stolen glances, and the courage it takes to show up-not just for each other, but for themselves.
