This is a bxb book, and I'll try to keep it as fluffy/less overdramatic as possible, but with a good storyline and decent writing. So, if you are looking for a light but nice story, you are at the right place!
If you are homophobic, transphobic, biphobic, or panphobic get the hell out of here. I don't need negativity.
Others, I hope you enjoy the book : )
Love, Ava.
Updates will be slow, sorry for that, my entrance exams are near. ✌🏻
ORION GRAVES has always been on top. A straight-A, high honors student. Top of his class on the path to valedictorian and an Ivy League school. Until suddenly, that all changes.
Orion was outed as transgender at his old school, and became victim to relentless harassment. Not to mention that in June of his junior year, his mother lost her battle with cancer.
Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning.
But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top, nor keep his head down and stay under the radar like old times. Because there's Caleb.
CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. And Orion's new best friend.
But Caleb's lost someone too, and is struggling just as much; this perfect kid suddenly not so perfect anymore. He's got his own demons, and pressures, and a heavy depression holding him back.
And yet, through these shared struggles, their friendship somehow manages to blossom into something so much more sacred.
