George hasn't had an easy life after being diagnosed with autism. Going to a public school as an autistic, highly intelligent boy, he clearly notices the differences between his classmates and himself, giving him a lot of insecurity and shame about his own behaviour. As his escape, he goes to a bakery for hours a day to calm his mind, but things change when a new boy who moved is hired. Unexpectedly, and for the first time, George decides to open himself up to the new boy, Clay, while at the same time, Clay slowly starts falling for his new best friend, George. Mostly fluff with some angst every now and then! ⚠️ I wrote this book from my own experience and my own mindset, as someone with diagnosed autism, highly intelligent and ADHD. I DON'T think people with autism are childish or cute, I'm not projecting a stereotype. This is from my own struggles with autism at a public school without special needs.

George and Clay are forced to leave each other's side after their parents fell out over Clay's brother having a boyfriend, they become forbidden to any kind of contact, because of a terrible fight between the two parents. But how long will that last? Neither of their parents are aware that George's and Clay's bond is anything more than a friendship, yet they both manage to form a secret relationship together managing to hide it from George's homophobic parents. At their best friend Sapnap's house they're able to be alone. Just as they think they are safe more problems arise. TW's: -Homophobia/transphobia (usage f-slur) -Mental and psychical (child) abuse -A big fight (death threats+insults)

Clay isn't able to go to school after he gets diagnosed with gastroparesis, a partial paralysis of the stomach. The daily usage of liquid food through his nose tube, extreme stomach pains and frequent throwing up are now the main topics of his life which drives him to absolute madness... After George gets kicked out from his home, he needs to live on the streets and survive on his own as an underaged boy. He starts using his money in the wrong way and eventually runs out, seeking a job as a babysitter in a family with a very sick boy. Clay does anything to enjoy life as a normal teen and acts like the funny guy who constantly jokes about his sexuality and uses a lot of pick-up lines which makes everyone laugh. Unfortunately that's often a mask to hide is own pain... Warnings: -Underaged usage cigarettes (smoking addiction) -Throwing up (skippable) -Bullying/ableism -Self harm

To calm down, he decides to go to the gym to exercise his sorrows away. He meets a boy there who appears to be in the gym every day, getting thinner every time George sees him.

Clay was born too early which makes him struggle a lot. His daily battle with multiple disabilities doesn't make his life easy and after also being bullied, even by his own brother, he shuts down around almost everyone and develops selective mutism. Instead of talking, he starts writing to the person he wants to become friends with. George who struggles with ADHD and a mood disorder suddenly receives notes in his locker each day from an unknown person. The notes cheer him up each time and at the same time he starts becoming closer to the quiet and shy Clay. When George also becomes friends with Clay's brother, he has to choose between either him, who hates Clay, or choose for the sweet Clay. But does he fall for the manipulative behaviour of Clay's brother or does he stay loyal to Clay? Warnings: -Sexual assault (a kiss/in the end only) -Suicidal thoughts (not many) -(Emotional) abuse -Bullying -Ableism (NOT A SHIP BOOK, just a platonic friendship :D)
