Harper Kim has mastered the art of staying unnoticed, for the most part. She's quiet in class, distant by choice, and perfectly content in her own world with her best friend. Milo Bennett is the opposite. Loud, warm, effortlessly magnetic-the kind of guy everyone knows. Star hockey player, constant talker, and somehow always exactly where Harper is.
When an accident on the ice throws them together, Harper finds herself acting different around him. It starts as casual conversation, mostly her talking and him listening, the roles reversed from their typical "status quo", but it turns into something neither of them really questions. He keeps showing up. Sitting next to her. Talking to her. Choosing her.
Harper tells herself it doesn't mean anything. Guys like Milo don't fall for girls like her.
As they grow closer, Harper's fear of letting someone in, and of holding Milo back from his future in hockey, starts to pull them apart. Between fights, secrets, and the pressure of what comes next, she has to decide if loving him is worth the risk.
From quiet moments on the ice to summer nights in the Hamptons, this is a story about first love, fear, and learning how to finally hold on instead of letting go.
