Together, Separately by Brent Wills

I thought I knew what I wanted in life: spontaneity and surprise. Turns out, those are the things I actually fear.

My safe, predictable life gets uprooted when an anonymous note arrives — the start of a secret scavenger hunt, a string of personal challenges, and a developing relationship through a journal that writes back. Together, or rather separately, this stranger and I might just be building something surprising. Is it possible to fall in love with someone you’ve never met?
And through all of it, there’s Martin. My best friend, there for every ridiculous dare, reminding me to hold each moment against the light, watching me become someone I never thought I could be. So why does falling for a stranger feel like it might cost me the realest thing in my life?

Running on borrowed bravery and something I can’t name, I’m turning into the person only others believed in.
I just might be everything my secret person thinks I am.
Maybe.
