It's Elliot fourth and last year in college. He cant wait to go home and see his mum and make her proud of his newly improved grades, so she dosen't regret letting him going to the US and attend college there. But when the first English class of the semester comes around he wouldn't really mind if his last year went as slowly as possible after all he needed time and so called help to bring up those party grades from junior year. Elliot ends up spending a lot of time in the study hall next to all of the professors offices, ditching frat life to hang out with his new friend.

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.
