When you least expect it

Seventeen-year-old Esme Kensington has spent most of high school trying to stay invisible. As a plus-sized girl in a world obsessed with appearances, she's mastered the art of blending in-keeping her head down, focusing on school, and avoiding drama at all costs. But when she's asked to tutor the school's most aloof and mysterious student, everything changes.

Mason Rivers is quiet, distant, and devastatingly handsome. Known for keeping people at arm's length-even his own tight-knit friend group-he's the last person Esme expects to need academic help, let alone to open up to her. But beneath his cold exterior, maybe he might have a soft spot for her.

As their tutoring sessions turn into late-night conversations and stolen glances, Esme and Mason begin to break down each other's walls. But high school can be cruel, and love can be complicated-especially when it shows up when you least expect it.
