Nyla Carter has always been the quiet girl.
The girl who sits in the back of the classroom. The girl who avoids attention. The girl everyone thinks they know but nobody actually does.
After being hurt one too many times, Nyla decides it's easier to keep her guard up and focus on getting through high school unnoticed.
That plan works perfectly...
Until Amir Johnson walks into her life.
Amir is charming, funny, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a simple friendship quickly turns into something neither of them expected. As their bond grows stronger, Nyla finds herself opening up for the first time in years.
But not everyone is happy about it.
With rumors spreading through the halls, friendships being tested, and Amir's jealous ex, Mya, determined to cause problems, Nyla and Amir's relationship is put to the test before it even has a chance to begin.
Can the quiet girl finally let someone in?
Or will fear, heartbreak, and high school drama destroy everything before it starts?
"Maybe being the quiet girl was never my weakness. Maybe it was my greatest strength."
