𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 - Matt Sturniolo

"I wish I could've made you stay, and I'm the only one to blame. I know that it's a little too late, this is everything I didn't say"

A year ago, Aries's heart was crushed in front of the whole school by the boy she had secretly loved. Matthew Sturniolo. He seemed popular, charming, and merciless and she swore she'd never let him hurt her again.

Now, as seniors at Somerville High, fate has thrown them together once more. Matt is different, quieter, sharper, and haunted by the mistake he made. But Aries has moved on, or so she thinks, with Jonah by her side.

When past and present collide through a forced partnership, jealousy flares, sparks ignite, and old feelings refuse to stay buried. Matt will have to confront what he lost, and Aries must decide whether second chances are worth the risk... or if some mistakes leave scars that never fade.

A slow burn, enemies to lovers romance full of tension, heartache, and the push and pull of first love rediscovered.
