For as long as she can remember, Y/N has had a crush on Ethan Walker—her older brother Jake’s best friend. While Ethan and Jake spend nearly every day together, Y/N has spent years hiding feelings she knows she shouldn’t have. As her senior year of high school begins, Y/N is determined to focus on graduation and her future. But keeping her distance from Ethan proves impossible when he’s constantly around. What makes things even harder is the growing suspicion that Ethan may not see her as just Jake’s little sister anymore. Caught between loyalty, friendship, and emotions neither of them expected, Y/N and Ethan must navigate awkward family dinners, jealous misunderstandings, small-town gossip, and Jake’s fiercely protective nature. As graduation approaches and life-changing decisions loom on the horizon, both are forced to ask themselves whether some feelings are worth waiting for. A heartfelt slow-burn story about first love, growing up, friendship, family, and discovering that timing can change everything.
