Riley has always felt more comfortable in the pages of a book than in the crowded halls of high school. Quiet, introspective, and fiercely independent, she keeps her distance from the world, preferring to lose herself in fictional realms where she can feel something more than just invisible. But when her mom forces her into choir, Riley's life takes an unexpected turn.
What starts as an unwanted elective becomes the catalyst for changes Riley never anticipated. From navigating the chaotic social scenes at lunch to facing the challenge of singing in front of others, she finds herself in uncharted territory. And then there's Grayson, the boy who's always been there but whose recent, mysterious presence shakes up everything she thought she knew about herself.
As Riley contends with her insecurities, the tug-of-war between self-reliance and connection, and the challenges of being seen for who she truly is, she begins to realize that sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones we never planned to tell.
