He wasn't "just" a crush... he was the one I didn't see coming. Keira never thought a random question about a fan setting would change her entire high school life.

Because sometimes love doesn't come the way you expect it. Sometimes, it sneaks in through a fan setting, an emoji, and a boy who refused to let her go.

She hears thoughts. He thinks in static. And somewhere in between, an ancient voice is waking up.

But when a strange boy named Rivan Vale enters her therapy room-with a smear of blood on his collar and thoughts loud enough to burn-Nyra realizes she isn't hallucinating. She's connected. To something old. To someone dangerous. To a mind that once shattered the world from the inside out. As their connection deepens, Nyra is pulled into a world of underground experiments, vanished patients, and a name erased from every file: > Patient Echo. They say she vanished in fire. They say her mind was too dangerous to contain. They say she's gone. But Nyra knows better. Because Echo isn't gone. She's just been waiting. And now, she wants out.

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.
