October James has always been good at staying in her own world. Behind her sharp wit and quiet confidence is someone afraid of change, someone who has built walls so comfortable she's forgotten what it feels like to leave them. Then there's Omar Bennet. A talented artist with paint on his hands and secrets behind his silence, Omar sees the world differently. He turns emotions into sketches, memories into sculptures, and moments everyone else ignores into something worth remembering. When their paths cross, October finds herself drawn into a world of creativity, uncertainty, and a person who challenges everything she thought she knew about herself. But getting close to someone means risking being hurt. And sometimes the hardest thing to create isn't art, but a connection between two people who are afraid to be truly seen. US is a story about friendship, love, self-discovery, and the fragile moments that change who we become.

The next I see is her friend standing and her also as she wipes her tears. She sniffs, and her eyes make contact with mine. Widening as mine do and she almost stops walking. I can hear her clear her throat as she hesitantly looks away, but not before turning back to look at me as she goes through those glass doors. × × × Kehlani is a magnet to heartache.
