Alex es tímido, reservado y bastante pensativo. John, por otro lado, es todo lo contrario: extrovertido, amigable y siempre sonriente. Parecen no tener nada en común, salvo una cosa: ambos son enamorados de la música. Entre canciones de The 1975, WhatsApps contestados con una diferencia horaria abismal y conversaciones en el suelo de un edificio abandonado, Alex descubrirá que todos los poemas resultan tener sentido. Y Alex se dará cuenta de que, cuando se trata de sentimientos, ni siquiera los secretos pueden ocultarlos.
«La gente dice que somos como las estrellas, John, pero yo sé que es mentira: algunas personas, como tú, nunca dejan de brillar».

To work so hard for something and then watch someone else do it better effortlessly is infuriating. That was definitely the case for Elias.
Elias Richardson wanted to be the best at something, academics was what he chose. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he achieved his goal. So, when Javier Cortez came along and started showing him up at everything he did, he became furious. Now everything that they do is a competition, whether Javier knows it or not.
But somewhere along the line that hate filled competition begins to turn into undeniable feelings that take a lot less effort.
