Evelyn's picture-perfect life is falling apart.
Elio, her estranged brother, who was the black sheep of the family..wants nothing to do with her and the family she stayed behind for.
When she stumbles into his world-full of half-empty takeout containers, late-night group chats, and friends who feel more like the family they deserved-she expects tension, not comfort.
Definitely not the kind of comfort that feels like home.
And certainly not Theo, Elio's golden-boy actor roommate, who somehow sees right through her walls.
As old wounds resurface and new, complicated feelings spark-not just between Evelyn and Theo, but across the entire messy friend group-Evelyn and Elio have to decide:
Is it too late to build something whole from everything that's broken?
Or are some families always meant to stay broken.

He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her.

When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him.

They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected.
