Tai Nova Torres never expected to stand out. Painfully awkward, she should have been just another statistic, a product of her broken home and trauma. She blended into the background, unseen by most, but behind her quiet exterior, an extraordinary WOMAN emerged—one who defied the odds and found freedom in movement. While Tai thought she was invisible to the world, every unseen move was noticed by EmeKai Lee, the small town’s MAVERICK

He saw her in a way no one else did—beyond her awkwardness and the walls she'd built.

As they navigate the tumult of adolescence, grappling with aggression, heartache, and the weight of growing up, their connection becomes undeniable. What they thought would be easy—finding love and self-acceptance—proves to be anything but. With every choice, Tai and EmeKai face the question: Never or Now? Will they risk it all for love, or let life slip away?

"Never or Now" is a coming-of-age story about defying expectations, facing the complexity of love, and discovering that sometimes the hardest choice is the one that changes everything.
