Whatever

Nora Madrid-Esquival's world is lived in the shadows, behind books and quiet observations. But when she begins an anonymous text conversation with Arch, the basketball star hiding his own struggles, a connection blooms between them-deep, mysterious, and filled with unspoken truths. As their virtual bond grows stronger, they are forced to face the reality that the person behind the screen might be closer than they ever imagined.

In this heartwarming and poignant tale of vulnerability and trust, Nora and Arch navigate the complexities of identity, fear, and the courage to connect. Through late-night messages and shared moments of quiet understanding, they come to realize that sometimes the greatest stories are the ones that are never told aloud-but are felt, in the silence between two people who choose to listen.

This book explores the intimacy of unspoken communication and the raw beauty of discovering yourself through someone else's eyes. It's a journey of friendship, of love, and the quiet strength that comes from sharing your most authentic self.

Will their secret world survive the reveal, or will the weight of reality break the fragile thread they've woven together?
