Book Synopsis

In this swoony young adult romance from the acclaimed author of Sunkissed, Indy and Beau's friendship is shattered, but getting accidentally locked in a bathroom together just might be what's needed to reconnect.

When the walls close in, the truth comes out.

When Indy's life came crashing down, she made a rule: no one could know. To the world, she's still the same Indy--cool, calm, unshaken. But behind the scenes? It's chaos.

Her tight-knit crew--Beau, Caroline, and Ava--were once her everything. Now they're strangers she can't seem to reach--especially Beau. And the only person she talks to these days is Cody, a skater-boy she used to think was so not her type. Funny how everything changes when your world flips upside down.

And then, as if things couldn't get weirder, Indy finds herself literally stuck in a school bathroom with Beau. After months of silence, and there's no escape. If they want out, they'll have to face the messy truth about what happened between them and find a way back to what they once had. Or maybe even more . . .
