For as long as he can remember, Aran has lived by one rule-be perfect. Every decision, every dream, and every step of his life has been controlled by the expectations of the people around him. Freedom is something he has only ever watched from afar. Then he meets Amory. Loud, fearless, and impossible to ignore, Amory lives the kind of life Aran has never allowed himself to imagine. What begins as an unexpected friendship slowly grows into something neither of them can stop. But love isn't enough to erase years of fear, family pressure, and the painful truths they're both carrying. As Aran learns to fight for the life he truly wants, he must answer one question: Is freedom worth risking everything he's ever known?
