My First Life

Marcus and Rosie have known each other for ten years, which means they've already survived the hardest part: growing up together.

They've been through the same cramped rooms, the same broken routines, the same "don't get attached" rules, and somehow still managed to build a friendship that feels like home. Rosie's the kind of girl who talks too much, laughs too loud, and drags Marcus into situations he swears he hates, even though he always follows. Marcus is quieter, sharper, and better at pretending things don't hurt, which is exactly why Rosie refuses to let him disappear into himself.

Now they're older, and everything is changing in ways neither of them knows how to handle. Because it's one thing to be best friends for a decade.

It's another thing to realize you might be in love with the one person you can't afford to lose.
