When sixteen-year-old Zeke expresses romantic interest in his best friend Imogen, her unexpected reaction sends their relationship into a tailspin. - Simon and Schuster
This âimportant and necessary book for our timeâ (Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be) confronts the myth of the friend zone as a boy in love with his best friend feels heâs owed a chance at romanceâand sheâs the only one in their lives who disagrees.
For as long as anyone can remember, Zeke Ladoja and Imogen Parker have been best friends. Their classmates, their parents, and even the school custodian think that theyâre meant to be together. And thatâs exactly what Zeke wants: for Gen to be his girlfriend. Now that sheâs about to be sixteen (and allowed to date), Zeke is finally going to tell her how he feelsâin front of everyone at her birthday party.
Imogen loves Zeke with all her heart, but only as a friend. The pressure to be with Zeke has sometimes been overwhelming, but up to this point, sheâs been able to manage it. Then she falls for the new boy, Trevor Cook, and she knows the news will devastate Zeke. The last thing she wants to do is hurt her best friend, but she also resents the fact that no one seems to care about what she wants.
The night of Genâs party, everything goes wrong. Thereâs backlash, most of it directed at Gen, and Zeke feels emboldened. He isnât about to give up on his feelings, and heâll do whatever it takes to prove that she made the wrong choiceâ¦even if it means destroying their friendship. But Gen isnât about to give up on fighting for herself and the freedom to love the boy she wants, not the boy sheâs expected to be with.
