Lottie Clark isn't sure she loves her job, isn't sure she loves her boyfriend, and isn't sure her older brother will ever stop drinking. Lottie is left to quietly pick up where he falls short with his thirteen-year-old daughter, Morgan. Taking care of everyone else is easier than confronting her own unhappiness. Avoidance, after all, feels safer than asking what she actually wants. That careful balance shatters when Liam Baker-her very first crush-unexpectedly walks back into her life. As their friendship deepens, Lottie begins to see just how small her world has become and how much of herself she's given away. But while her relationship with Liam opens the door to something hopeful, her family life is unraveling. Her brother's drinking worsens, and Lottie finds herself leaning on the Baker family for support. Not including Liam's younger sister Mackenzie, Lottie's former best friend, who seems to harbor years of unexplained resentment. Caught between a past she never fully healed from and a future she's afraid to claim, Lottie must decide whether she can stop sacrificing herself for everyone else-or risk losing the chance to build a life that's truly her own.
