Something More Than Friends follows 13-year-old Josh as he navigates the confusing space between friendship and first love. He’s had feelings for his best friend Aki for a while—but he’s too scared to tell her, afraid it might ruin everything. As the school year unfolds and the distance between them grows, Josh has to decide if risking the truth is worth it… especially when he doesn’t know she’s been feeling the same way all along.
