Room to Breathe

by Kasie West · 2026

Indy has always been the picture‑perfect friend—cool, calm, and seemingly unshaken—until her world collapses and she vows to keep her pain hidden. Her once‑tight crew—Beau, Caroline, and Ava—drift away, leaving her only to confide in Cody, a skater who’s never been her type. When a mishap locks Indy and Beau together in a school bathroom, the cramped space forces them to confront the secrets and misunderstandings that shattered their friendship. As the walls close in, old feelings surface and the truth finally comes out, offering a chance to rebuild what was lost—or discover something entirely new. "Room to Breathe" is a swoony, heartfelt YA romance about broken bonds, unexpected intimacy, and the courage to let the world see the real you.
