Then Rhea Happened

Alina Jacobs had it all figured out, or so it seemed. A loyal boyfriend, a growing online business, solid grades, and a reputation as the girl who always had it together. But lately, things have felt... off. Her relationship with Caleb is fading, and so is her grip on what used to matter.

Then Rhea Torres walks back into school after a year-long disappearance. No one knows where she went or why, and Rhea isn't exactly offering details. She's quieter now, a little colder, but still somehow magnetic. The kind of girl who doesn't ask to be noticed, and yet, Alina can't look away.

So when Caleb breaks up with her and starts dating Rhea, it should hurt, and it does. But not in the way she expected. Because the truth is, Alina isn't heartbroken over losing Caleb.

She's falling for the girl who took her place.

'Then Rhea Happened' is a story about first love, lost friendships, and finding clarity in the most unexpected person.
