The Heart Shaped Goal

Ivy June Parker never imagined her senior year at Seaford High would start like this. Just two months after losing her father, she's built walls around herself, pushing everyone away-except for her best friend, Alice. But on the first day back at school, something shifts. Ivy is tired of being the sad girl who hides behind grief and fear. She wants a fresh start. A new version of herself.

Enter Cedar Labowski, the charming, easygoing boy who seems to know just how to make her smile. He's everything she needs right now-someone who doesn't know the weight of her past, someone who can offer her a chance at a new beginning.

But Ivy's heart still belongs to Oliver, her first love, her best friend since second grade. He's always been there, and the feelings she has for him run deeper than anything she can explain. Can she move on from the boy who's always held her heart? Or will she forever be tied to the past, unable to let go of the love that might never be?

In The First Day of Forever, Ivy must learn to navigate the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. As she faces the toughest decisions of her life, she'll discover whether the future holds room for both healing and new beginnings-or if she'll forever be stuck in the past.
