Riley Jones, 17, lives with the weight of a depression that she hides behind her smile and the presence of her friends. Two years earlier, her first love, Malachi Barton, left her abruptly without explanation, leaving her broken but more determined than ever to move forward. Surrounded by her twin Jaxon, her big sister Taylor, Mason, her brother-in-law, and her close-knit group - Mia, Gabby and Walker . But everything changes when Malachi reappears in his high school: between stolen looks, painful memories and late excuses, Riley finds herself torn between her heart that still beats for him and the fear of plunging back into its darkness. While her friends want to protect her at all costs and Malachi tries to regain her trust, Riley must face her past, her feelings and especially herself, in a story where love, pain and friendship intertwine.

Y/n is the little sister of Malachi's best friend.
Since she and her brother Noah were always really close,she's also close to Malachi.Obviously she always had a little crush on Malachi.
Right now she's 16 and he's 18 so she kinda gives up at the moment since she's crushing on him since she's 11.
But who knows what could happen🤷♀️.
