Leighton Murray has been your best friend for years. She knows your coffee order, your favorite shows, the stories you’ve told a hundred times, and exactly what your face looks like when you’re trying not to laugh. There’s just one thing she doesn’t know how to tell you. She’s completely in love with you. Unfortunately, you’re already dating someone. Leighton tells herself she’s happy for you. She listens when you talk about your boyfriend, gives you advice when you need it, and pretends her stomach doesn’t twist every time you call him cute. She never says anything because she values your friendship too much to risk losing you. Or: Leighton Murray has been secretly in love with her best friend for years, while her best friend remains completely oblivious—and very much in love with someone else.
