The Shape Of Yearning

What happens when 18-year-old Destiny, a girl who never lets anyone get too close, meets the one person she can't seem to stay away from?

Destiny has spent most of her life building walls around herself. Between abusive parents, endless responsibilities, and disappointments she stopped counting years ago, trusting people has never ended well. So she keeps her distance, focuses on school, works long shifts at her job, and pretends everything is fine.

Then senior year begins.

Miss Olsen, Destiny's new calculus teacher, is everything students fear: cold, strict, intimidating, and completely impossible to read. She demands perfection, doesn't tolerate excuses, and seems determined to make everyone's last year as difficult as possible.

Everyone tries to stay on her good side.

Everyone except Destiny.

What starts as a harmless crush quickly becomes something much more complicated when Destiny realizes she can't stop thinking about her teacher. The worst part? Miss Olsen seems to notice her too.

As secrets are revealed, boundaries are tested, and feelings grow stronger, Destiny finds herself facing something far scarier than calculus: allowing someone close enough to hurt her.

But some connections are impossible to ignore.

And some feelings are impossible to forget.

Will senior year be the best year of Destiny's life, or the one that finally breaks her?
