Maxton Carter is the guy everyone knows - loud, reckless, and effortlessly charming. The kind of guy girls go head over heels for. The life of every party, the name on every whispered confession.
Winnie Thomas is the opposite - quiet, bookish, always fading into the background. The girl who prefers fiction over reality, who keeps her emotions locked away.
But since childhood, they've been inseparable. Best friends. Soul-deep safe places. The one thing in life that has always made sense.
Until life stops making sense.
Because sometimes, love isn't just about finding each other, it's about fighting to stay.
What happens when the world, time, and choices come between them?
Will they hold on? Or will they become just another almost?
