Emery seems like the girl who's always glowing, the one who lights up a room with her bubbly attitude and bright smile. But behind that smile is a girl who's breaking apart. With every cruel remark, every judgment about her body, she feels herself slipping further into the darkness. She hides the pain, pretending everything is fine, but on the inside, she's falling apart.
Liam Carter is everything Emery isn't. Cold, distant, and utterly uninterested in fitting in, he seems like the last person who would care about someone like her. But when he starts to notice the cracks in her perfect act, something shifts. He doesn't know why, but he can't stop thinking about her.
As their paths cross and secrets start to unravel, Emery is left wondering if she can keep up the facade or if the weight of it will crush her. Liam's quiet strength might just be what she needs to stop herself from falling too far. But can he help her heal, or will he end up being another part of the destruction?
