Parks Thompson is the confident wrestler who's never needed anyone-until Perry Ellis. A quiet moment in history class sparks something real, and suddenly he can't stop thinking about her. He gives her his time, his jacket, his money-anything to stay close. He tells himself it's love. It's not. It's fear.
Perry is smart, genuine, beautiful when she lets her guard down-but she's trapped under her family's expectations and the safe shadow of her perfect ex, Lander. She leans toward Parks, then pulls back. Every retreat feeds his uncertainty: Does she feel it? Is she choosing him? Jealousy burns when he sees her with Lander. Obsession grows. He replays every word, every silence. He threatens, pleads-anything to stop the terror of being left alone.
He's survived crashes, pins, everything.
But the thought of losing her forever? That fear is bigger than anything he's known. It changes him. It breaks him.
In the end, love isn't enough.
Fear is.
Stuck is a raw young adult novel about obsession, jealousy, uncertainty, and the desperate fight against abandonment-when wanting someone becomes needing them to exist, and letting go feels like losing yourself. For readers who want honest, messy emotion with no easy answers.
