The Year Of Goodbyes

Sixteen-year-old Marisol Dominguez earns a full scholarship to Rose Acres Academy, a prestigious boarding school in the English countryside, she leaves behind her small Texas hometown for a world she's only dreamed about. Navigating unfamiliar customs, intense academics, and the challenges of being far from her family, Marisol is determined to prove she belongs among the school's elite. Her roommate, the charming and vivacious Eloise Morelli, quickly becomes a close friend.
But her plan takes an unexpected detour when she's assigned to tutor Isaiah Morelli-the insufferably smug older brother of her roommate.
Isaiah is everything Marisol can't stand: effortlessly wealthy, irritatingly handsome, and completely indifferent to his academic responsibilities. With his family pressuring him to pass his exams, Isaiah reluctantly agrees to Marisol's help, but he doesn't make it easy. From snarky comments to outright resistance, every tutoring session feels like a battlefield.
As weeks turn into late-night study sessions, Marisol starts to see cracks in Isaiah's arrogant façade. Behind his confidence lies a young man struggling to meet impossible expectations, and his sharp wit sometimes gives way to moments of surprising vulnerability. Against her better judgment, Marisol finds herself drawn to the boy who once drove her crazy.
But with secrets, misunderstandings, and Eloise caught in the middle, their growing connection is anything but simple.
