Some hearts are born fragile. Others are broken by the people who should protect them. This story's protagonist relates to both cases. Fifteen-year-old Iris Prescott has just returned to LA after years away, but nothing feels like home ever since her mother passed away. Her father is distant, her stepsister jealous, her stepmother cruel. Those two have made it their mission to erase her completely, which seems to be working. As for her friends, she lost them. She is lost. She is grieving. She is sick. And then goes Kian, Iris' childhood best friend who has changed as well. Will they drift apart too?

As Nell recovers from the loss of her mom, her Dad's depression, and a string of failed relationships, Rory has remained her one reliable constant. He is not only her dad's best friend, but also the harbor she comes home to when life gets tough. That unique bond gets put to the test when Nell develops feelings for Rory that go a little deeper than he can allow. Their difference in age, their entangled lives, and the judgement of their closely-connected families stand in the way of their happiness. And risking the love they already share for a more intimate kind of love seems to be too much of a gamble. Possible trigger topics: grief, mentions of depression, age gap, explicit language Vibes: sweet, wholesome, family ties, comedic & dramatic
