‘Mental illness. To most it is just a phrase, an attention-seeking disease which sounds more like a marginally-developed theory than an issue. And that’s what I thought too. But I was wrong.’
Iris Martins always dreamed of having the perfect boyfriend, someone who could take care of her when she was feeling down, someone to hold at night. So when American Jake Ringland asked her on her first date, she was ecstatic. But as weeks turned to months, she began learning of Jake’s true background and the character he had been hiding his whole life. And as her family life begins to take a turn for the worst, Iris realises that the events she is about to face will change her for the rest of her life.

𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣-𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙖 Cole Walker is (almost) like any other teenager trying to make his way to college. He's angry, he's pissed off and he has an agenda: to make all the bullies and homophobes pay for what happened to his brother. There's just one little thing standing in his way. X Bélizaire, despite the first impression Cole has of him, denies to be either a bully or a homophobe. So much so that he's willing to make a bet, to prove how wrong Cole is about him. Except, it isn't just any bet. It's is a bet about NOT falling for each other, not because they're both guys but because Cole wouldn't fall for a homophobic bully and X wouldn't fall for a know-it-all guy like Cole. Whoever falls in love first, loses.
