Paige Bueckers is a Junior at UConn, a rising star on the women's basketball team to most, she's the golden girl-an athlete with a dazzling future and a reputation for kindness. But there's one person she can't stand: 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚.

Alicia Blake, the girl next door. Literally. The daughter of Paige's mom's best friend Melissa. A cheerleader for the UConn women's basketball team. And once, a long time ago, her best friend.

That was before the fight-the kind that leaves scars deeper than words ever could. Since then, they have shared more hate than history, more silence than memories.

But something is shifting all over again.

Alicia and Paige are feeling things they shouldn't-𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 in their chest whenever each other enter the room, and whenever they see each other across the lawn, a quiet curiosity of how things would be if they talked it out. And with every game, every sideline glance, every unspoken word, every stare across the lawn the tension grows between the two more and more.

What happens will test the line between love and hate, and challenge everything they thought they knew about each other.

Because sometimes, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝... 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠.
