Seventeen-year-old Anna Hayes has the perfect smile - at least, that's what everyone thinks. On the outside, she's the cheerful girl who lights up the hallways at Crestwood High. On the inside, she's holding herself together with invisible tape, hiding secrets she's not ready to share.
Then there's Roman Carter - mysterious, intense, and hopelessly drawn to Anna. He's been watching her from the sidelines for years, convinced there's more to her than the mask she wears. When their worlds finally collide, neither is prepared for the way it will change them both.
But love isn't the only thing getting complicated. Anna's best friend, Ben, has fallen hard - for Sofia Delgado, Anna's oldest rival. With loyalties tested, emotions running high, and hidden truths threatening to surface, one thing is certain: this year at Crestwood will be unforgettable.
A story about love, friendship, and the courage to let someone see the real you - even when it scares you.
