Naomi is eighteen, soft-spoken, artistic, and tired of being treated like a question instead of a person. As a feminine intersex boy growing up in a world that always wants to label him, he's learned how to be quiet, careful, and guarded with his heart. Salem is nineteen, calm, observant, and steady. He doesn't talk much about his feelings, but he shows up. He always shows up. Strong, protective, and loyal, he's been Naomi's best friend for years - the one place Naomi has always felt safe.

Through late-night talks, shared silences, small jealousies, painful misunderstandings, and moments where the world pushes back, Naomi and Salem have to learn not only how to love each other - but how to choose each other. This is a slow-burn, emotional coming-of-age romance about: • Growing into yourself • Being seen • Learning to accept love • And finding home in another person Tender, emotional, and intimate, 'The Way We Learn Each Other' is a story about two boys who don't fall in love all at once - they grow into it.
