When seventeen-year-old y/n transfers to Crestwood High for her senior year, she’s determined to keep one life-changing secret to herself. Nobody can know she’s sick. Nobody can know why she left her old life behind. And nobody can know that this year might be her last chance to experience everything she’s ever dreamed of. For the first time in years, Ava wants to be normal. She wants football games, late-night adventures, embarrassing school traditions, and friendships that feel real. She wants one year where she isn’t defined by hospital rooms or whispered sympathy. Then she catches the attention of Rowan Hayes. At 6’5”, tattooed, green-eyed, and infamous for breaking hearts, Rowan is one-third of the school’s untouchable trio known as The Kings. Alongside his equally charming best friends, he’s built a reputation for never taking anything—or anyone—seriously. Relationships don’t last, feelings don’t matter, and Rowan Hayes definitely doesn’t fall in love. Until y/n.
