About Ethan

Ethan Price is the star hockey captain everyone expects to go pro—smooth, encouraging, and seemingly perfect under pressure. To the world, he's the golden boy who makes leadership look effortless. But beneath the performance is someone who's been trained to make everyone happy since he was nine, compartmentalizing his true self to meet everyone's expectations. He secretly dreams of studying engineering at MIT, but those dreams feel impossible when everyone else has already written his future. When his childhood best friend Sophia returns after seven years, she's the first person in forever who wants to know what he actually thinks—and that terrifies him almost as much as it feels like coming home.
