Before She Knew His Name Carl Gallagher has always been good at getting what he wants. Fresh out of juvie and back on the South Side, Carl expects everything to go back to normal—the chaos, the trouble, the endless Gallagher problems. Until one ordinary day, he sees {Y/N}. She doesn’t notice him. Doesn’t stop. Doesn’t even look his way. And somehow, that’s the one thing he can’t forget. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes something stronger. Carl finds himself wanting to know everything about the girl who walked past him like he was nobody. But {Y/N} isn’t impressed by his reputation, his confidence, or his usual tricks. For once, Carl Gallagher can’t just take what he wants. He has to earn it. Between South Side chaos, Gallagher family drama, bad decisions, unexpected friendships, and a slow-burning connection neither of them saw coming, Carl has to figure out the difference between wanting someone and truly knowing them. Because Carl Gallagher has always chased trouble. This time, trouble looks a lot like her.
