Gabriella Alvarez is sunshine personified. She’s the girl who walks into a room and makes you feel seen. And so, it’s hard to believe the girl who radiates positivity and is friends with everyone would be struggling with emotions she never thought she’d feel. At least that’s what she tells herself.

Jagger Spears is the captain of the basketball team, notorious for being exceptional in bed and for his laid-back personality. But behind the easygoing smirks and flirty words, he’s not coping well with his final year of college, battling past demons and grappling with a debilitating case of imposter syndrome.

Through it all, Gabriella and Jagger have each other. They’ve been best friends since childhood, growing up and living together, and yet, they maintain the facade. They slip on their masks, desperate to appear fine.

Until one night.

They make a promise that it won’t mean anything. But then it becomes all they can think about, wishing it would happen again while knowing it can’t.

But the lines have already been crossed. Soon it’s complicating their friendship that for years has been nothing but platonic, making them question everything and wanting more.

But in wanting more they’ll have to open up about what they’ve fought so hard to keep hidden.
