It Won't Come True

What to do if the person you love already belongs to someone else? And can you remain just friends when something more has long been happening between you? An atmospheric Young Adult novel about first love, jealousy, and feelings that cannot be controlled.

Maxim transfers to an elite lyceum and almost immediately falls in love with Masha — a smart, reserved girl who has been dating his childhood best friend Andrey for many years. These feelings are forbidden, but where love appears, reason takes a back seat. Striving to be close to Masha, Maxim secures the role of Romeo in the school theater production, where she plays Juliet. On stage, they can openly talk about love, but behind the scenes, it's not so simple.

The further the rehearsals go, the harder it becomes to separate the performance from reality. Literary seminars, film clubs, and endless meetings at the theater bring them closer together, turning friendship into a feeling that can destroy several lives at once.
