Celine Bangura believes in facts, evidence, and an airtight plan. Bradley Graeme believes in people, second chances, and getting better—one brave step at a time. Once upon a time, they were inseparable. Then they weren’t.
When Celine sets her sights on the Breakspeare Enrichment Program—an elite, wilderness-based scholarship pipeline—she won’t let anything get in her way. Not the camping (which she hates), not the teamwork (which she distrusts), and definitely not the guy who broke her heart by choosing popularity over her. Except Bradley gets in too. And the more miles they trek, the more truths start to surface.
Between muddy mishaps, midnight heart-to-hearts, and a high-stakes finish in the Scottish woods, the pair face bigger questions than compasses and checkpoints. What if you don’t want the future you planned? What if the person you once loved is still the one? And what if the bravest thing isn’t winning—but telling the truth?
