✖ 4th Place in the Monthly Elimination Awards; August 2017 ✖ Highest rank: #38 in Teen Fiction ✖ Highest rank: #1 in coming-out For Pelham Nixon, self-discovery isn't only about coming to terms with his sexual orientation. Driven by fear of facing reality, he has developed issues at acknowledging his feelings, as he is far too deep in his own realm. Reality just has to come and greet him once he decides to step out of his comfort-yet-confining zone, tired of self-condemnation. The universe is simply too vast as it is large, too many secrets behind too many stories. What does he know about his parents, his geek of a best friend, his charismatic girlfriend, or an attractive Hispanic boy whose presence he has just taken notice of? What he knows is that there are still far too many things for him to discover; himself, as well as the people around him. Though, that doesn't mean he has to discover them all by himself ...

BOOK ONE Coming out was supposed to set Julian free. Instead, it left him with a broken arm, a mother who won't stop preaching, and a silence that grows heavier every day. High school feels like a cage, and Julian is certain he doesn't belong anywhere-until Paul crashes into his world. With his inked skin, effortless charm, and a following that makes him untouchable, Paul should be the last person Julian lets close. But in Paul's arms, Julian feels something he's never known before: safe. As their connection deepens, so does the danger. Loving Paul means risking exposure, rejection, and heartbreak all over again. Worse, it means facing the cruelest voice of all-the one inside Julian's own head. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Open is a story about first love, first heartbreak, and finding the courage to believe you're worthy of both. ::: I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.
