Cora Adebayo has known Jesse Kingsley since middle school and she’s hated him just as long. From shared hallways to stolen gym time, from sharp words to colder stares, they’ve been enemies for years. Jesse is everything Cora isn’t supposed to like: loud, reckless, and effortlessly admired. As Ridgewood Heights High’s hockey star, he thrives on attention. As a disciplined gymnast fighting to be taken seriously, Cora survives without it. They enter freshman year still enemies, still clashing, still pretending the other doesn’t matter. Then Paige Holloway arrives. Paige is new, talented, and instantly adored. She slips easily onto the gymnastics team and just as easily into Jesse’s orbit. She smiles sweeter, laughs louder, and wants what she believes she deserves. Jesse. As the years pass, Cora and Jesse’s rivalry slowly fractures into friendship. A bond built on late nights, shared wounds, and the quiet understanding that the person who knows you best… might be the one you fought the hardest. But just as Cora begins to feel safe again, her world burns. A tragic fire at a school camp kills her entire family, leaving her with nothing but grief and unanswered questions. And in the aftermath, it’s Jesse who stays. By senior year, on prom night, when he finally asks her to be his girlfriend, Cora thinks maybe… just maybe, life is giving her something back. Until Paige tells the truth: The fire that destroyed Cora’s family wasn’t an accident after all. It was started by Jesse. Now Cora is faced with an impossible choice: Can she forgive the boy who saved her… if he’s also the reason she lost everything? With national gymnastics finals just a week after prom, can she hold it together long enough to make it to the mat?
