About

Mira and Recker have lived next door to each other since middle school. Their bedroom windows practically face each other, their families know one another, and they’ve spent years pretending the tension between them is nothing more than familiarity. It isn’t. Now in college, they’re still neighbors—and the feelings they never admitted have only gotten harder to ignore. Recker notices every guy who picks Mira up for a date, every late-night car that drops her home, and every name lighting up her phone. He tells himself he has no right to be jealous. After all, he’s had years to tell her how he feels. Mira has been doing the same thing: watching girls come and go from Recker’s life while convincing herself she stopped wanting him a long time ago. Then one night changes everything. Years of jealousy, attraction, and things left unsaid finally explode into an encounter neither of them planned. By morning, they agree it was a mistake—something that can’t happen again. They return to their separate houses and try to act like nothing has changed. Except Recker becomes even more jealous when he sees Mira with other guys, and Mira starts realizing his possessiveness might have less to do with friendship than he’s willing to admit. Then her period is late. One positive pregnancy test turns their lifelong almost-romance into something neither of them can avoid anymore. Now Recker has to watch the girl he’s secretly wanted for years carry his baby while they figure out whether they’re only two neighbors who made one life-changing mistake—or whether that night finally exposed the love they’ve both been hiding since they were kids.
