A messy, emotional, addictive love story about second chances, first heartbreaks, and the kind of chemistry you can't outrun.
Zara Mitchell thought she finally had her life under control-good grades, good friends, and a relationship with Kai that felt steady, safe, and warm. But one mistake, one fight, and one broken heart later, everything falls apart... including her.
She swears she's done with drama.
Until Rylan walks back into her life-her ex-best friend, her almost-first love, and the boy who knows exactly how to look at her like she's the only one in the room.
And now they're paired as leads in the school play.
The lines they speak on stage feel too real.
The tension feels unscripted.
The chemistry? Dangerous.
When Kai's world suddenly shatters, Zara becomes the one person he leans on. Familiar feelings resurface. Old wounds open. New truths come out.
Caught between a past she never healed from and a future she's scared to ruin, Zara is forced to face the hardest question of all:
Can you love two people in completely different ways... and still choose the right one?
With friendship fractures, backstage confessions, hallway rumors, late-night hospital visits, and stolen moments that blur the line between acting and reality, Zara's senior year becomes a whirlwind of emotions she never saw coming.
Heartfelt, angsty, and deeply relatable,
High School Love and Drama
is a coming-of-age romance about healing, honesty, and the messy, beautiful chaos of loving someone before you've fully learned yourself.
