Maeve Collins has loved Sloane Whitaker for as long as she can remember, long before she ever knew what that love meant. Best friends since childhood, they've grown up side by side, sharing secrets, traditions, and a bond Maeve has always been careful not to name.
Sloane Whitaker, meanwhile, has always been the girl everyone wants. Cheer captain, effortlessly popular, surrounded by attention, yet the only person who's ever truly mattered to her is Maeve. She's never questioned why she chooses her best friend over every almost-relationship, or why the idea of losing Maeve feels unbearable.
When they arrive at college as freshmen, distance from home gives them something new: freedom. As late nights, new people, and unspoken truths begin to blur the lines between friendship and something more, both girls are forced to confront what they've always felt, and whether they're brave enough to claim it.
A tender, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance about growing up, queer self-discovery, and realizing that the love you've been searching for has been beside you all along.
