Matthew has always kept his distance—literally. His haphephobia makes even the smallest touch unbearable, turning him into the school's quiet outcast. Enter Feral, the reckless new student who crashes into Matthew’s life—first by ruining his bike, then by showing up at the animal shelter where Matthew volunteers. Feral is everything Matthew isn’t: bold, carefree, and frustratingly touchy. As their paths keep crossing, Feral’s persistence starts to chip away at Matthew’s carefully built walls. But when buried secrets and unspoken fears begin to surface, Matthew must decide if he’s ready to let someone in—especially someone who doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of personal space.
