High school is already a nightmare. My grades suck, my best friend won’t stop making TikToks in class, and the cafeteria smells like actual wet dog.Then I find out why.Because apparently the hottest guy in school — Mr. Perfect Hair, Mr. Captain of Everything, Mr. Too-Good-To-Look-At-Me — is actually a werewolf.Correction: not just a werewolf. The Alpha.And, yeah… the universe just had to make him my fated mate.The problem?1. He hates me.2. I kinda hate him back (okay fine, I also daydream about his jawline, sue me).3. His pack thinks I’m a walking disaster.4. Did I mention I once called him “fluffy” by accident?Now I’m stuck between avoiding him, surviving high school, and somehow not turning into a wolf in gym class. Because fate might think we’re perfect together, but honestly?Oops. Big mistake. Huge.

Millie Carter and Ethan Hayes have lived across the street from each other since before they could even spell each other’s names. Their families are inseparable, their moms are best friends, and their lives have always been tangled together.Growing up side by side meant everything was shared—bike rides through the neighborhood, birthday parties, scraped knees, and a hundred inside jokes. It also meant that Millie and Ethan never got a break from each other… which was fine, until it wasn’t.Because somewhere between childhood and high school, their friendship twisted into something else. Banter turned into bickering. Teasing turned into competition. And to everyone else, Millie and Ethan became sworn enemies who couldn’t go a single day without trading insults.But late at night, it’s different.Through the hidden attic window that connects their houses, the walls drop. There, they share secrets, fears, and the kind of truths Millie can’t tell anyone else—not about the car accident that took her dad, not about the way she still feels broken, and definitely not about the confusing feelings creeping in whenever Ethan looks at her too long.From childhood pranks to teenage drama to first heartbreaks and almost-confessions, Millie and Ethan’s story is one of laughter, grief, and the messy in-between of growing up. Everyone thinks they know what Millie and Ethan are. But only the attic window knows the truth.A slow-burn, heartfelt YA romcom about neighbors-to-something-more, family ties, and the dangerous kind of love that builds quietly over the years—until it can’t be hidden anymore.
