Sixteen-year-old Isaiah "Zay" Torres has lived in New Haven his whole life. He attends a public magnet school while working part-time at his uncle's bodega. A quiet artist, Zay keeps his queerness to himself - mostly because he's not sure how to put it into words. Then he meets North Carson - a Yale professor's son who just moved into the neighborhood from Brooklyn. North is bold, sarcastic, out, and unapologetically political, attending protests and organizing LGBTQ+ teen meetups. He's everything Zay isn't... and Zay can't stop thinking about him. As the two boys become unlikely friends (and maybe more), Zay finds himself pulled between two worlds: his neighborhood, where he's always tried to stay invisible, and the louder, freer world North introduces him to. Is he ready to be seen - and to let himself love out loud?

Book 1 of 2 There is no doubt that this story is about love, but romance might be a smaller part of it. This story is about love in all of its different disguises. It's about friends and family who would burn the world for each other, and family who would burn the world to be away from one another. But mainly, this story is about Rose living out her last year in high school with all of its difficulties and hardships and love and acceptance and weird teachers and mythical creatures. And even after all of that, you're still mainly searching for romance? Fine. One of Rose's hardships is the undeniable truth that she's in love with her best friend, but her best friend doesn't love her back...right?Complete
