YA
Kyle is a timid music lover who works at the school radio station, Hailey a scrappy rock musician who is slowly going blind. In alternating chapters spanning years, this mismatched pair works through lists of their biggest fears while tiptoeing around a relationship. Lively characterization helps to balance the pair's slow-burning romantic tension, but a last-minute resolution feels hasty and thin.
