The Hoodie follows the shifting friendship of Piper, Annaleigh, and Claire as one oversized, well-worn hoodie becomes the silent witness to everything they experience—new schools, first crushes, family drama, and the messy, sometimes heartbreaking work of growing up. As the hoodie passes from one girl to the next, it carries with it secrets, comfort, and the complicated feelings of being a teenager trying to find her place in the world.
