Anna Torres and Jake Miller have been inseparable since childhood-two halves of a friendship that's weathered every stage of life. Now in college, Anna, a driven business major, finds herself heartbroken after a messy breakup with her boyfriend Zack. Enter Jake, an easygoing animation major with a sketchbook always in hand, determined to pull her out of the slump with late-night ramen runs, bad movies, and the kind of loyalty only a lifelong friend can give.
As Anna navigates the chaos of college, self-discovery, and healing, she begins to wonder if the line between "best friend" and "something more" was always blurrier than she thought. Jake has always been there-but maybe he's been the one all along.
