Ivy Preston made a list of everyone who said goodbye when she left for summer music camp.
Her best friend-and next-door neighbor-Aiden Pedersen?
Not on it.
So she left. And didn't look back.
Aiden didn't mean to hurt her. He thought they were fine.
Ivy had always been the easy part of his life-cheering him on, making space, never asking for much.
But while Ivy's rediscovering her worth through music camp chaos-including disco night and a horse named Ludwig-Aiden's still stuck in routines, drills... and silence.
Then he sees her summer through Insta stories he's not tagged in and texts he's not part of-and it hits him:
He might've already lost her.
When Ivy gets back, she's open to fixing things-until she finds out Aiden forgot to tell her his mom is having twins.
He's known for two months.
Maybe she's done waiting around for someone who doesn't think she matters enough to tell.
Now Aiden has a choice:
Fix it. Or miss his shot-for real this time.
Slow-burn YA romance with best-friends-to-more vibes
Heart, humor, and emotionally satisfying awkwardness
Basketball, music camp chaos, and ensemble cast hijinks
Strong female friendships & self-worth arcs
Ivy Preston: Emotional observer. Weed warrior. Kazoo cult founder. On a mission to stop existing on the sidelines.
Aiden Pedersen: Basketball phenom. Emotional rookie. He thought he was doing enough. Now he's learning to show up-even when it's hard, even when it's messy.
This is a story about quiet heartbreaks, first crushes, and the kind of friendships that hurt just enough to make you grow.
