Tobin James has always felt like they didn't quite fit in with the gender binary society around them. Like something was always missing as they struggled to come to terms with their gender identity. Living in the countryside only added to their sense of isolation and confusion. But everything changes when they meet Diamond Richmond, a vibrant and confident young woman from the city. Diamond sees Tobin for who they truly are, beyond the limitations of labels and societal expectations. She helps Tobin understand that their identity is valid and that they are exactly who they're meant to be. Tobin begins to understand that their identity is much more complex than they ever thought possible. As Tobin and Diamond's relationship grows, they must navigate the challenges of a world that often fails to recognize or understand nonbinary identities and often sees gender in narrow terms, while exploring the beauty and complexity of life beyond the binary.

Adolescence is a complicated part of anyone's life. Juggling high school, social life, and complex emotions can be exhausting-but the most taxing part of it all is the discovery of one's identity. Amity is still trying to figure out who she is and things only become more difficult after she meets Callie. With the start of their friendship, a whole new side of Amity begins to unravel in the most painfully beautiful way. Their friendship quickly evolves into a legendary and whirlwind romance that teaches Amity the strength and passion of love. Fears of being discovered by homophobic friends and family test the strength of their relationship. But teenagers are naive and, like Amity's mental health, they fall apart, turning a passionate love into a burning heartache. As she navigates the pain, Amity must learn to cope with her internal struggles and face the parts of herself that have been hidden away for so long.
