Atlas Winslow is seventeen and already tired of starting over.
Another town. Another school. Another chance to be the quiet kid everyone forgets. After being outed and brutally bullied at his last school, Atlas just wants to survive senior year unnoticed. No friends, no risks, no exposure. Keep his head down, graduate, and escape. That's the plan.
But then he meets Lucien Winterfel-Handsome, guarded, and colder than the air between them. Lucien is everything Atlas tries not to look at for too long: magnetic, sharp-tongued, and impossible to read. And somehow, he sees Atlas. Really sees him.
As they navigate school projects, suffocating hallways, and the brutal silence of unspoken things, Atlas finds himself questioning everything he thought he had to hide. But falling in love when you're still learning to love yourself is complicated. And in a world that has never been kind to boys like Atlas, being seen might be the most dangerous thing of all.
💬 A raw, heartfelt story about survival, identity, and the quiet places we keep our truths. For readers of Heartstopper, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and They Both Die at the End. 💬

A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity.
