TO CHERISH AND BE LOVED

"To love wholeheartedly and be loved in return—that is life’s greatest gift."

Sophia Alvarez is a hardworking student at Northwood Academy, known for balancing her roles as a quiet achiever and the school’s dependable student leader. Her life seems perfectly in order—until she meets Ethan Morales, a boy from the class next door.

Their classrooms may be separated by a wall, but Ethan’s carefree nature and knack for drawing her out of her shell slowly disrupt Sophia’s carefully managed routine. As their paths cross more often, she begins to question the perfection she’s always strived for and wonders if there’s more to life than being in control.
