Some people are your first kiss. Your first heartbreak. Your first home.

Some people are all three.

Rowan has known Amara for as long as she can remember.

They grew up together, survived adolescence together, and became each other's firsts, first kiss, first platonic love, first mistakes, first time discovering what it meant to want someone. Somewhere along the way, they stopped being just best friends and became something neither of them ever bothered to name.

Now, at twenty, they've left home for college and moved into an apartment together near campus.

But college means new people, new possibilities, and a world much bigger than the one they built together. As they begin growing into women instead of the girls who grew up side by side, the lines between friendship and something deeper begin to blur.
