Setting his lawn on fire wasn't exactly how Garrett Grimaldi planned to start talking to his best friend's neighbor, Silas. But that's exactly what happens when a fun experiment goes horribly wrong, launching Garrett's summer off to a hot start. Growing unease with his boyfriend, looming responsibilities of adulthood, and his expanding relationship with Silas quickly begin to overwhelm Garrett. All he wanted was a good summer with his closest friends and some fond memories to look back on. While all the memories he accumulates over the next few months may not be his fondest, this will surely be a summer to remember.

Gabriel Rizzo can handle a lot of things. As president of the senior class student council, he's used to stress, exhaustion, and pressure. He's used to Marshall, president of the junior class student council, nagging him constantly and plotting for more control. Those things don't bother him. Taliesin Torres? Now, there's something he struggles with. Taliesin can be rude, immature, and has a temper that tests even Gabriel's patience. When Gabriel finds himself suddenly sharing most of his classes with Taliesin, he feels overwhelmed and helpless. The whole situation would certainly be a lot easier if Taliesin wasn't the one pulling Marshall's strings for more control of the school. Oh, and also if Gabriel and Taliesin had never kissed.
