Miles Apart

Lana has spent most of her life with her nose buried in books, finding comfort in fictional worlds when reality becomes too heavy to bear. At school, she is invisible at best and a target at worst. Bullying and loneliness follow her everywhere, leaving stories as her only safe escape, where characters stay loyal and happy endings always exist.

All she wants is a fresh start.

When an unexpected scholarship opportunity opens the door to studying in Europe, Lana finally sees a chance to leave behind the life that has held her back and step into the future she has always dreamed of one filled with independence, new friendships, and the freedom to become someone new.

But new beginnings rarely come alone.

A chance encounter with a boy far from home, kind-eyed, persistent, and impossible to forget; begins to blur the line between coincidence and fate. As Lana prepares to leave everything familiar behind, she must learn whether running away from her past is enough... or if true healing comes from allowing herself to be seen.

Because sometimes, the story you've been escaping into is actually waiting for you in real life.
