THE STORY

About Eight Years of Unsaid Love

Seventeen-year-old Emma secretly loved genius Ethan, but lied that she hated him and pushed him away out of crippling insecurity. No one knew why Ethan turned down a full Ivy League scholarship to enroll in the same grad school as her. As competition sabotage and her uncle’s life-or-death crisis hit, will the "I love you" hidden for eight years be spoken before everything falls apart?
