Ava Hart has always been the quiet girl-the one who blends into the back row, the one whose name no one remembers. But when the weight of depression starts pulling her under, high school becomes more than just exhausting... it becomes suffocating.
Desperate to feel something other than numb-and desperate to fit in somewhere-Ava is drawn into a group that promises escape. Late-night hangouts. Secrets whispered in the dark. A little pill, a little smoke, a little something to help her "float."
What begins as a way to belong slowly becomes the only thing keeping her from drowning in her own thoughts. But the higher she floats, the harder she falls. And Ava isn't sure she can survive the crash back into reality.
As friendships blur into manipulation and loneliness spirals into addiction, Ava must decide whether she'll keep drifting into the shadows... or fight to come back to herself before she disappears completely.
Float is a raw, haunting story about isolation, the pressure to conform, and the silent battles carried by the ones who look the most invisible.
