"Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to find my body on the bathroom floor. All cold and bloodied up..."
Kai has forgotten how to feel alive.
When his parents ship him off to a new city after he tried to end his life, he plans to do what he's always done: keep the curtains shut, sleep through the daylight, and let the world move on without him.
Then he meets Callum-his infuriatingly cheerful new roommate, a med student who refuses to leave him alone. Callum's determined to drag Kai out of the shadows, even if it means sitting outside his locked bedroom door with mugs of tea and stupid jokes.
Kai doesn't want to be saved. Callum doesn't know how to stop trying.
Two boys, one apartment full of unspoken things, and a chance to learn how to breathe again-together
