17 year old Henry Rivera is an artist - he especially loves painting, but give him a pencil, crayon, or modeling clay, and he'll turn it into something great.
The Westbrook High Arts Club has been an outlet he's relied upon for a while, a place of comfort when he needs it and a way to use his skills to contribute to his future, in an area where he doesn't get many opportunities for it.
But when the school board decides it wants to move funding from the club into the Westbrook Tigers' soccer team, captained by the most obnoxious Jackson Blake, Henry is faced with a problem that he doesn't know how to solve.

"Of the guy who is good at everything without putting in an ounce of work? Yeah, maybe I am." "You wanna know what else is effortless?" Javier challenged. I bit my bottom lip. "What?" "My feelings for you." - 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. - {TW⚠️: This book contains heavy depictions of alcoholism, verbal abuse, mental health struggles, mature themes and strong language.
