30 parts Complete Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons.
And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia.
But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him.
And suddenly, they're partners for a project.
And Toby cannot stop thinking about him.
Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard.
But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair.
But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it.
Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness.
He's in trouble. Absolutely.
But maybe trouble can have its benefits.
