Description：
Sophie Bennett knows what it means to be unwanted. At home, she grows up with a mother who never chooses her first. At school, she spends a year chasing Ethan Sterling, the admired golden boy she believes she finally managed to win over.
Then, on the hundred and eighth day after he accepts her confession, Sophie overhears the truth.
Ethan never fell for her at all. Their relationship started with a bet, and now that Olivia Hart—the childhood friend he has always cared about—is back, he fully intends to end things.
Humiliated and heartbroken, Sophie refuses to beg for scraps of affection any longer. Even after an accident, even when Ethan suddenly starts showing concern, she begins pulling away, determined to take back the dignity she almost lost loving him.
But the farther Sophie walks, the more Ethan realizes his feelings are no longer part of a game. For the first time, he is the one being left behind—and regret comes far too late.
As graduation draws near and old wounds refuse to close, Sophie must decide whether love that began in cruelty deserves a second chance, or whether choosing herself is the only way forward.
