13-year-old Xander Romano has always been the quieter twin - impulsive, moody, a little dramatic, and constantly pushing limits. But behind the eye-rolls and sharp comebacks is a boy who feels everything too deeply and doesn't know how to talk about it. And now, he's carrying a secret far too heavy for someone his age. With five overprotective older brothers, you'd think he'd be safe. You'd think someone would notice. But Xander's been hiding more than just skipped meals and forced smirks. He's been hiding the truth. He can't tell them. Not about him. Never. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when everything finally breaks, when the truth rips its way to the surface, it's not anger or punishment that meets him. It's arms that hold him tighter than the lies ever did.
