About the Book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max Pennington didn\u2019t mean for things to go wrong.
But one borrowed poem, one wrong decision, and suddenly his whole world is louder than he knows how to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set over a single school year, Book View, Verses, and Viral Mistakes<\/em> follows Max as he navigates friendship, first feelings, family, and the weight of learning that saying the right thing matters \u2014 but saying it in your own voice matters more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a story about trying again.
About standing up when you\u2019d rather disappear.
And about what happens when you finally stop hiding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
