[Sequel to Basketball Atrocities]
It is fall of 2005. MySpace is in its prime, YouTube and Reddit have started to take off, and it feels like the world has woken up on a sunny Saturday morning. Tyler and Josh have started their sophomore year of college, living in an apartment near campus. In the wake of half their friend group moving away, they have made new friends. Their siblings have grown up as well.
A new chapter has started for Tyler following his parents' divorce. Learning how to manage his own household is tough, but trying to be a college perfectionist and a professional basketball player is even tougher. Having a job on top of all that is just the icing on the cake.
Josh is finally making a name for himself as he begins the start of his culinary career and obtaining his degree in psychology. But even he will have to endure some challenges as his and Tyler's dynamic at home begins to blossom further. Adaptation or cancelation? What will he choose?
The world has only just opened up for Tyler and Josh, but it can just as easily overwhelm them too.

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete
