Now, without the distraction of football, he has managed to find success at the University of Minnesota. Although there's one problem...Quitting football was easy, but for some reason, he can't quit Pierce Thompson.

But he's definitely sure he's attracted to his blue-haired roommate named Elliot Norfolk. It wasn't long before arguing about dirty laundry and debating rom-coms turned into something more. Pierce and Elliot don't have much in common, except their dorm room and all the secrets that exist within its walls. But what happens after Elliot moves out? Will they both move on? Or will they find an excuse to remain close?

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
