I Should've Looked Away

Kaia never planned on falling in love.

After losing her father and spending years drowning herself in drugs, she's sent to Greenville for the summer, hoping to stay clean and survive another lonely year of her life. But everything changes the moment she meets Ace, a mysterious girl with sunlit hair, an angelic smile, and chaos hidden beneath her skin.

What begins as a harmless summer crush slowly turns into something deeper, messier, and impossible to escape. Ace makes Kaia feel alive for the first time in years... but loving her starts to feel dangerously similar to addiction.

Under the burning July sun, the two girls navigate love, identity, desire, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.

Some people save you.

Others ruin you.

And sometimes, they do both.
