Sixteen-year-old Oakleigh Stewart has lived her whole life in the small country town of Paris, Illinois-a place where tractors outnumber streetlights and everyone knows your business before you do. She's loud, stubborn, a little wild, and just trying to survive high school without tripping over her own boots. Oakleigh's life is full of chaos-blended families, barn chores, and younger siblings who never stop yelling-but through it all, there's always been Mason. Her best friend since birth. Her constant. Her secret crush she swore she'd never tell. But now it's the last day of school, and summer's stretching out like a promise. Something about this year feels different. As the fireflies return and the nights grow longer, Oakleigh finds herself caught between the safety of what's always been and the risk of what could be. Because sometimes, love doesn't come with a sign. Sometimes it just shows up-right where the fireflies go.
