Serena Inthavong always played it safe growing up. It wasn't the path she wanted, but it protected her from the outside world and revisiting her emotional trauma. Now, as she gears up for her senior year at Skyline High School, Serena is determined to live her life for her and no one else. Little does she know, high school isn’t always like the movies. With drama-filled hallways and an unexpected return to cheerleading–a world she had left behind for valid reasons–Serena's journey through high school will be anything but conventional.

Meanwhile, Tyler Westman sailed through high school like it was a breeze up until his senior year with competing responsibilities at home and school. Between lacrosse, maintaining his friendships, taking care of his sister, and getting his grades up for college applications, it’s turning into an endless responsibility juggling. But beneath his cool exterior lurks a desire for something more genuine than fleeting popularity and the attention that came along with it. When he crosses paths with Serena, a girl with magnetic energy, he will find himself drawn to her like never before.

As Serena tries to find her place in the chaos of high school and growing up, she feels like an outsider in her own story. But with Tyler tagging along, she will start to see the silver lining in the teenage turmoil. And as Tyler gets to know Serena, he will find layers to her personality that he won’t be able to resist.
