A story about love, loud silences, and the long, painful, beautiful process of becoming whole again...
All Navia wanted was a quiet senior year. No drama, no trauma dumping, and definitely no foreign exchange students spawning on her couch.
But then came Auren - a soccer-playing, sarcasm-wielding, food-obsessed Canadian boy with a talent for getting under her skin.
Navia has no patience for nonsense, small talk, or people who expect her to entertain their shenanigans. She's spent her life trying not to take up the space and time of others. Auren, meanwhile, never learned how to stop yapping, and spends his time wasting other people's.
Between chaotic best friends, unhinged choir teachers, pottery mishaps, and constant banter, the two navigate a school year full of fighting, healing, unexpected laughter, and a kind of love that feels terrifyingly beautiful.
