Fallon McCann has been recording The Greener Side since high school to share environmental news and ways to stay green to protect the earth. Her late-night musings and infectious curiosity have amassed a loyal following, but one listener stands out—Rockstar, a mysterious and witty stranger who messages her on the forum where her podcast is hosted. Their conversations are equal parts playful banter and deep connection, turning into an anonymous friendship with undeniable chemistry. For months, Fallon and Rockstar chat, flirt, and share their dreams, until one day, Rockstar proposes they meet in person—backstage at The Paper Trails concert. Fallon agrees. But when she walks backstage, her world tilts. Her Rockstar is none other than Elliot Spencer, her handsome and brilliant botany lab partner at Evergreen University. The Elliot who teases and challenges her at every turn. The Elliot she might have already been falling for without even realizing it. Elliot, a rising star in the indie music scene, has spent years guarding his heart after a devastating breakup and the pressures of his band’s growing fame. Loving someone feels like a dangerous distraction he can’t afford. Fallon, haunted by the loss of her best friend, is terrified of losing anyone else she lets into her heart. As they navigate lab sessions, secret moments at his concerts, and quiet moments in nature where Fallon teaches Elliot to appreciate the world’s smallest wonders, their connection deepens. But fears linger, and love isn't easy when both of them are afraid of what they stand to lose.
