Some Kind of Beautiful Mess
Some people run toward new beginnings. Livie Dune is just running away. After a public breakdown and the kind of mistake small towns never let you forget, she transfers schools halfway through junior year. No friends, no attention, no second chances. Just get through the semester, disappear quietly, and maybe, finally, stop hurting. Milo Westbrooke was once untouchable--until an injury ended his future and an addiction nearly ended everything else. Now he's back from rehab, clean but not exactly clear, dragging a reputation he can't seem to shake. Everyone's just waiting for the relapse. Neither Livie nor Milo signed up for the school's peer wellness group, but skipping it isn't an option. So they make a pact: no deep talks and no saving each other. Just late-night drives, too-honest dares, and moments that almost feel like being okay. But the more they let their guards down, the more their pasts start to bleed through--and the harder it becomes to pretend they're not falling. Because broken people aren't always better apart. Sometimes, they're the only ones who get each other.
