Odalys Fenn spent three years at Ravenswood Academy learning how to make herself smaller without ever actually becoming small.She learned which hallways to avoid, which questions not to answer in class, and which parts of herself to fold away so nobody would have another reason to laugh.Then Deacon Voss broke up with her in the middle of the cafeteria and called her a mistake loud enough for the whole room to hear.That night, Odalys decides she is done being invisible.The summer that follows isn't supposed to be about Deacon. It's supposed to be about getting stronger, healthier, and learning how to stop hating the person she sees in the mirror.But some part of her still imagines Deacon's face when he sees her again.By senior year, the girl everyone ignored is suddenly impossible to overlook.Deacon wants her back.But Callum Rourke, the groundskeeper's son who has quietly looked out for Odalys for longer than she realizes, is done staying in the background.And when Odalys discovers that the boy who never stopped noticing her was there all along, she has to figure out what she actually wants.Because being wanted by the boy who rejected her feels satisfying.But being loved by the boy who saw her before anyone else did might mean something more.
