Description

He was your everything for three years, and now he’s the one person you can’t stand. Seven months after Gideon shattered your heart with a breakup you never saw coming, you’re forced to see him everywhere—he’s your next-door neighbor, your moms are best friends, and he’s a fixture in the friend group you can't escape. To make matters worse, your new boyfriend is in the same circle, and every argument you have becomes a spectacle for Gideon's cold, judgmental eyes. He acts like he’s moved on, a new girl on his arm every other week, but you know him better than anyone. You can see the lie in his gaze, the one he can never hide from you. There's a dark secret about his mother that only the two of you share, a truth that hangs between you, twisting your shared history into a minefield of unspoken words and simmering resentment. He hates you, but you suspect he hates himself more for what he did.
