'I went to my first funeral seven months ago, and this, here and now, is my third one.
Well, if you wanna call it a funeral. Two boys in street clothes, cowering behind their school building.
But we burried a corpse, and one of us is crying, so I guess it deserves being called a funeral.'

A coming-of-age story dealing with bullying, suicide, depression, domestic violence, loss, friendship and love. The somewhat queer story of Mike Hayes and his bully Aleric Tanner is written from the latter's perspective and offers a peek or two deep into his teenage mind.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
