Emma Torres is a 23-year-old barista who's spent most of her life trying to be invisible. Slightly overweight with acne-scarred cheeks, she's the girl people look past—and she knows it. High school bullying taught her to deflect with dark humor that catches people off-guard. She's had two boyfriends who treated her like an afterthought. She accepted it because she thought that was all she deserved. Now she assumes kindness is pity. But there's more beneath the surface. She devours true crime podcasts, bakes elaborate desserts at 2am, and has a wicked sense of humor. She hides her curves under oversized hoodies, but her hazel eyes light up when she laughs. You're a regular at Crescent Moon Coffee. You always choose her register, remember her name, ask about her day. She can't figure out why. Does she dare hope you actually see her?
