Best friends brother

Everyone at Willow High knows Andreae Parker-the flawless cheer captain, the golden girl, the queen bee of the school. With movie-star looks, a magnetic personality, and a perfect boyfriend, she's everything people envy. And Ash Parker? He's her older brother-the awkward, invisible debate nerd no one remembers unless they're making jokes about how he must be adopted.

Ash doesn't care. He's counting the days until he can escape the suffocating small-town spotlight that's never pointed at him anyway. His plan is simple: keep his head down, ace his classes, get into Yale, and never look back. High school drama? Not his problem.

But that all changes when a simmering rivalry between Andreae's boyfriend and Elijah Williams-the school's bad-boy quarterback and Ash's best friend's twin brother-starts to boil over. Ash finds himself dragged into the middle of a messy web of secrets, obsessions, and rivalries that go deeper than he ever expected. And Elijah? He's charming, infuriating... and maybe not the enemy Ash always thought he was.

With senior year spiraling out of control, and the spotlight shifting in unexpected ways, Ash will have to choose between the future he planned for and the one that's sneaking up on him fast.

Because the truth is, living in Andreae's shadow was safe.

Until it wasn't.
