The Guys Next Door

When seventeen-year-old Olivia James loses both her parents in a tragic accident, everything familiar disappears overnight. Instead of the home she grew up in, she and her little brother are shipped across the country to live with their eccentric aunt in rainy Seattle-an aunt they barely know, in a city that feels nothing like home.

Starting over mid-year at a brand-new high school is bad enough. Navigating hallways full of strangers, dodging the school's resident mean girl, and trying not to fall apart every time she thinks about the life she left behind? Nearly impossible.

But between her sarcastic new friend Emma, the sweet nerdy boy who keeps checking on her, and Elijah-the boy with the easy smile and the laugh she can't forget-Olivia begins to wonder if maybe, just maybe, she isn't as alone as she thought.

At home, the chaotic world of her aunt's all-male dance club brings unexpected joy, found family, and the reminder that healing doesn't always look pretty. And while Olivia is busy holding her brother together, she slowly realizes something important:

She deserves to heal too.
