Dot Sloan has always had a plan: study hard, stay invisible, and definitely do not fall for her best friend, Joshua Jameson. Unfortunately, her heart never got the memo. After one magical, not-supposed-to-happen night leaves their friendship cracked wide open, Dot spends senior year doing damage control - hiding her feelings, dodging drama, and pretending she's totally fine. (She is... mostly. Sometimes. Okay, not at all.) So when Joshua suddenly becomes single for the first time in forever, Dot has a choice: stay silent and safe... or take the risk that might finally rewrite everything between them. As the school year spirals into a hilarious, tender chaos of friend fallouts, unexpected crushes, very public humiliations, and a crash course in confidence, Dot learns that growing up doesn't mean having all the answers. It means showing up - messy, terrified, and completely yourself. And sometimes? You only get the love you want when you stop waiting for permission.
