She's quiet. She's strange. She's in love with her best friend.
Seventeen-year-old Olive Harper has always been a background character in her own life-curly-haired, soft-spoken, and quietly existing in the shadows of high school. Her only real anchor is Dahlia Leclair: beautiful, magnetic, and effortlessly adored by everyone. Somehow, despite their differences, they've been best friends for years.
But as junior year begins, Olive feels the distance growing-Dahlia's caught in a whirlwind of parties, popularity, and people who can't even remember Olive's name. Worse still, Olive's spent the summer trying to ignore the truth she can't outrun: she's falling in love with Dahlia, and Dahlia... is very, very straight.
When Olive reaches her breaking point after a cruel hallway encounter, everything she's buried threatens to spill out. Caught between wanting more and fearing she'll lose the only person who truly sees her, Olive must navigate friendship, identity, and the painful question: what happens when the person you love can't love you back?
A tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about unspoken love, growing apart, and the fragile threads that hold us together.
