12 parts Ongoing Mature''I wasn't planning on liking you. Then you smiled, and now it's a problem.''
Annika Feely has always felt like she's living in the shadows-quiet, anxious, and sharp-tongued in moments she wishes she could take back. Starting secondary school early at BCS, she's thrown into a world that feels too loud, too big, and way too full of people who don't seem to notice her.
Her twin brother Patrick is calm and steady, everything Annika isn't, yet somehow they balance each other out in ways only twins can understand. But it's Joey Lynch - intense, troubled, and fiercely protective - who unexpectedly catches her attention, stirring feelings she didn't expect and challenges she's not sure she's ready for.
Between navigating friendship, family, and the complicated pull of first crushes, Annika must figure out how to hold on to who she is-curly hair, sharp tongue, blue eyes and all-and decide what kind of future she wants to fight for.
