Ava Aimes idolized her geek father until he left her mother for his soulmate and left her mom shattered, so Ava vowed to abandon that life and cut ties with her best friend, Declan Greene.
Five years later, near the end of junior year, she sticks to pep club and a possible prom date while failing to ignore Declan across the room.
Declan has spent years putting his childhood crush aside and is focused on a workshop at an upcoming anime convention that could lead to a high-profile collaboration with the area's leading prop-maker.
When his crafting partner backs out three weeks before the con and Ava arrives as the replacement, he must accept her help or risk losing the workshop.
Time together may revive the feelings he thought were finished, even as Ava fears that choosing him could unsettle her mother's newfound happiness.
