Before the fame, before the stadiums, before the world knew his name, Harry Styles was just the boy who lived next door.

He was Lia's best friend, her safe place, and the one person she thought would never leave.

Then The X Factor happened.

The phone calls got shorter, the visits stopped, and somewhere between sold-out arenas and magazine covers, he forgot about the little village he came from... and the girl who stayed behind.

Now he's home.

Older. Famous. A stranger wearing the face of the boy she grew up loving.

She's spent years convincing herself she hates him.

He's about to find out that being famous doesn't make you unforgettable.

A slow burn, childhood best friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story about grief, first love, and discovering that sometimes the people who hurt us the most are the ones who once felt like home.
