Drew Sterling hates change. Ever since her dad left, it's been her and her mom against the world. That is, until Laine comes back to town after moving to California ten years ago. Drew finds herself quickly drawn to Laine as their moms rekindle a past friendship, and suddenly, she and Laine are inseparable. However, the feeling of stability in their whirlwind friendship becomes acutely fragile when Laine's mom forces her to move to Catholic school, causing her to reevaluate everything she knows of herself. Now, Drew must decide whether to fight for the only person besides her mom that has ever felt stable in her life, or forever mourn the girl she fell in love with.
Laine (lane-ee) Loveum has always been adaptable. Her family's fast-paced lifestyle keeps them on their toes, never giving them a chance to get close to anyone. But when an incident with her dad forces her to move back to Georgia, she finds herself setting roots in the comfort and vulnerability of Drew's friendship. Having never developed such a deep connection to someone before, especially not a girl, Laine sees religion as the perfect scapegoat to suppress her feelings and follow the path God has laid out for her to live the perfect, sin-free life. Caught in the crosshairs of living out God's (and her mother's) plan for her, Laine is forced to redefine her values and pivot from the picturesque future she'd always imagined for herself-even if it means disappointing her mother, upsetting her newfound church community, and finally accepting a part of herself she's tried so hard to deny.
