Sixteen-year-old Alex might as well have been invisible. No one noticed him - and he preferred it that way. Staying unseen meant no one could discover the cracks in his reality he worked so hard to hide.
Kai Fields had a reputation to uphold. Popular, confident, and living for football, his future was mapped out and distraction-free - until a history assignment pairs him with the quiet boy he’d never really seen.
What starts as reluctant teamwork slowly turns into something deeper. As Alex’s carefully built walls begin to slip, Kai finds his focus shifting from the field to the boy who was never meant to matter.
Secrets grow heavier, feelings grow stronger, and both of them realise some connections can’t be ignored - no matter how hard they try.
i may or may not have finished this book in one sitting🫣 this was REALLY good, they were so cute together. Alex broke my heart and i might’ve shed a few tears😭 i enjoyed this book so so much, they’re cute and just ahhhh my heart can’t wait for the second oneee!!!
this was such a thunderstorm!! I couldnt put it down!
first of all the way the slow burn was written was just chefs kiss there was never the feeling of impatiemce while reading but just smiling like this :> bc i knew more than them
some scenes played out again in the others pov i enjoyed that so so much! it never felt like "ugh again i know this" but it always made me giddy like "ooh im excited to see how the other one saw/felt that!" - great work!
and!! last but not least: the way the reader gets ripped from this sweet delicate lovestory by the dark sides of this book was so so well done 💚💙💚
I usually don’t like books without any spice, but this book didn’t need it. I finished it in one sitting but I didn’t expect to end with a cliffhanger 😅
Alex my poor broken boy 💔 these two are ridiculously sweet even if they aren’t even together yet but I can’t wait for a second book. I think I know what happens in the last phone call but I’m really curious how the whole story is gonna unfold…
This was such a good read, I love reading books that have deep emotional connection and caring characters. The book really captures the hardships of situations like Alex’s and shows the slow process of earning trust.
This book is absolutely amazing, i could not put it down all day and finished it in 1 day!. The characters are so easy to love and have my entire heart ❤️ I definitely recommend everyone to read this!
