On the surface, he's living the dream: valedictorian, surrounded by a loving family and loyal friends, and in a picture-perfect relationship. His future looks bright and carefully planned- until the night of his graduation, when an unexpected online conversation sparks something inside him he can't ignore.
She's bold, emotionally raw, and nothing like the world Artie knows. As their connection deepens, she challenges everything he thought he understood- about life, love, and who he really is. What begins as curiosity turns into a quietly unraveling of the life he built. Why would he risk it all for someone he's never met? And more importantly... Why does it feel like she's the only one who sees him?
As Artie struggles with doubt, desire, and identity, he's forced to confront the question he's never dared ask: Am I truly happy, or just playing the part?

They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.Complete
