    2024 Stonewall Book Award Honor for Young Adult Literature

    "A boldly authentic new voice in queer fiction." —Abdi Nazemian, author of Stonewall Honor book Like a Love Story and The Chandler Legacies

    Sandro Miceli is too nice for his own good. The middle child in an always-growing, always-screaming Italian family, Sandro walks around on a broken foot to not bother his busy parents. All he wants is to get out and never look back.
     
    When fate—in the form of a party that gets busted—brings these two very different boys together, neither of them could’ve predicted finding a love that they’d risk everything for…

      I was privileged to attend the Springboks match against the All Blacks recently. Oh my word! Such excitement, camaraderie and national pride. The highlights were the plane flying over (I nearly fell off my chair), the singing of the national anthem (

    • 4/5
      So cute. And great story line about pushing through and overcoming past trauma. Giving in to something and someone you want without worrying excessively about what others think. Making wise decisions about the future instead of emotion based decisions. Really good story.
    • 5/5
      So good. Read this book. The characters are great. The writing is beautiful. The story is gorgeous.
