His life isn't some fairytale. No matter how much he wishes it was, he can't change that. He's in love with his bestfriend, who hasn't got a clue, seeing as his best friends Allison and Chase have no idea that Chris is gay. Let alone totally head over heels for Chase. How much longer can Chris pretend? How much longer can he live a lie? How much longer can he deny his heart?

Andrew, a twenty-six-year-old literature graduate, has been through more drama than many his age. From suffering obesity to arthritis, and then anorexia after drastic attempts to lose body fat, Andrew grows more conscious of his body. He shields himself from the rest of the world in a reserved cabin tucked away in a small town where he dwells in solitude and self-pity. But things can't stay the same forever and Andrew's carefully planned out walls fall around him with the arrival of his uncle's fiancee's son, Ethan. Ethan will more than disrupt Andrew's 'perfect' life. He'll also teach him the sole act of acceptance.
