A familiar pair of friends, with romance taking unexpected turns

At Bexley School, Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael have long been cast by their friends and family as a future couple. The arrival of Luke, who sparks Charlie’s interest, and Sage’s growing connection with Charlie’s twin brother Nick unsettle that expectation. Their lifelong friendship becomes the thread connecting two romances, each complicated by uncertainty about what comes next: Charlie worries about how others will view his feelings for Luke, while Sage questions whether a relationship with Nick can last beyond high school. The setup brings together questions of identity, expectation, friendship, and first love in a teen romantic comedy.

Book overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules comes a high school romance that flips the switch on the will they or won't they trope. A cozy read perfect for fall!

If Charlie and Sage are meant to be, why can't Sage stop kissing Charlie's brother?

And why can't Charlie stop thinking about kissing the new boy at school?

Everyone at the Bexley School believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be. Even though Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend every month, and Sage has never had a real relationship, their friends and family all know it's just a matter of time until they realize that they are actually in love.

When Luke Morrissey shows up on campus his presence immediately shakes things up. Charlie and Luke are drawn to each other the moment they meet, giving Sage the opportunity to spend time with Charlie's twin brother, Nick.

But Charlie is afraid of what others will think if he accepts that he has much more than a friendship with Luke. And Sage fears that if she lets things with Nick get too serious too quickly, they won't be able to last as a couple outside of high school and miss their chance at forever. The duo will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship to figure things out with the boys they love.
