The Weight of You

They call me the girl who runs the confession page. The one who sees everyone's secrets. But no one sees mine. Ivy Choi has mastered invisibility. The fat girl in the oversized hoodie. The anonymous admin of Edgewater Confessions, where students spill secrets she never judges. Until one sleepless night, exhausted from caring for her mute younger sister, she accidentally approves a post that destroys the school's star quarterback. Beckett Harrington isn't the cruel jock everyone thinks. He's an eighteen-year-old boy raising his selectively mute brother alone while their mother works nights and their father sits in prison. The viral post didn't just humiliate him—it broke his family. Now Ivy has a choice: confess and lose everything, or stay hidden and watch him drown. She chooses a third option. She becomes Leo's live-in babysitter. What starts as atonement becomes something neither expected. In the quiet hours after midnight, Beck isn't cold. He's exhausted, desperate, and unexpectedly gentle. He doesn't look at Ivy's body like it's a punchline. He looks at her like she's someone. But Maren, Beck's cheerleader ex, is watching. She knows Ivy runs the page. And she's willing to burn them both to reclaim her throne. When Beck discovers the truth—not from Ivy, but from the enemy who wants to destroy them—he'll have to decide: is forgiveness heavier than hate? And Ivy will have to learn that being seen isn't about shrinking. It's about taking up all the space you deserve.
