Avery's only goal was simple: finish school, earn her degree, and help keep her family's restaurant afloat. She knew education was her best shot at securing a stable future, but when she met Aspen, everything she thought she knew about priorities-and reality itself-began to blur. Aspen, on the other hand, had no interest in school. Trapped under the suffocating grip of her parents' control, all she wanted was freedom-to carve out her own path, away from rules and expectations. As their worlds collide, Avery and Aspen find themselves questioning what truly matters: the futures they've planned or the undeniable pull toward something neither of them expected.
Running away from her harsh past, Avery finds herself stuck between the love for herself and another woman. As she faces the struggles of being a gay woman in high school with Ella, will they come together the moment they need each other most, or let fear guide them through their life?
