Lizzie Young has spent years surviving the weight of grief, trauma, and the walls she’s built around her heart. Sharp-tongued, reckless, and determined to push everyone away before they can leave her, she’s convinced she’s beyond saving. But Hughie Biggs refuses to see only the girl hiding behind the anger. Loyal, patient, and quietly steadfast, he remembers the fearless, laughing girl Lizzie used to be—and believes she’s still there beneath the pain. As old wounds reopen and buried truths force Lizzie to confront the past she’s been running from, Hughie becomes the one constant in her chaotic world. Their journey is one of heartbreak, healing, and discovering that love isn’t about fixing someone—it’s about staying when they believe everyone else will leave. Theyve been together since they were nine years old.
