Description

Emma Jenkins has spent most of her life being overlooked. Too quiet, too weird, too invisible. Her sketchbook is her refuge, her cat is her best friend, and her heart? Tucked safely behind walls no one has ever tried to break through.

Then Ethan Bryant walks in—new in school, charming without trying, and carrying a sadness that feels too familiar. From the moment he chooses the seat behind her, Emma begins to feel something she hasn’t in a long time: seen.

What begins as tentative friendship turns into stolen moments, late-night texts, and the terrifying, beautiful hope that maybe—just maybe—she matters to someone. But life doesn’t pause for love. When grief, distance, and unspoken pain begin to fracture what they’ve built, Emma and Ethan must face the hardest question of all: I Can two people who feel broken on their own ever fit together?

Told in alternating points of view and filled with raw emotion, Too Busy Being Yours is a raw, heartbreakingly tender love story about first connections, fractured families, and the kind of love that never really leaves.
