Description：

Nell Sawyer has loved the boy across the street for eleven years and has never once said so.



What she has done is start a novel about it. Anonymously. Online. With a promise to her readers that when she reaches a hundred thousand words, she will finally tell him.



The novel is now at two hundred thousand words. The comments section has become a place where strangers describe, in detail, what it costs to love someone quietly. And Nell has still not said anything.



Then Elias Boone walks into her room, puts a hand on the desk on either side of her, and asks when the confession is coming.



He has been reading it.



He has, it turns out, known who it was about from the very first chapter.
