Imperfect Together

Lucien Ashbourne was your average 16-year-old boy, or mostly average. He constantly got in trouble with his friends, made poor choices, and failed to succeed at making his father proud.

While living on the outskirts of a small town named Oakhaven, Lucien attended his father's private Christian high school, where reputation meant everything.When his behavior started affecting his grades, his father decided he was in need of help from an old friend, who was also a tutor for various subjects.

But, his fathers old friend didn't come alone to live alongside the Ashbournes.

Seventeen-year-old Miguel Salazar arrived at the beginning of the summer, with his father. At first, he hit it off well with Lucien. Their friendship grew stronger every day.

Then everything changed.

When the second month of summer began, Miguel suddenly stopped speaking to Lucien and started dating Lucien's sister, Juniper. Hurt, confused, and convinced that Miguel had betrayed him, Lucien watched his relationship with Miguel crumble.

But, the more Lucien struggled with his fears, insecurities, and worsening mental health, the more he began to question what he thought he knew about Miguel-and whether Miguel was ever really the person to be angry with.

There were things neither boy could afford to say aloud.

Secrets that could tear apart the Ashbourne family.

And, if anyone discovered what had been happening between them, Miguel could disappear from Lucien's life overnight.

In the Ashbourne house, some things were better left a secret.

But Lucien began to realize that keeping one might cost him everything.
