this is phil lester's 4th time moving schools in a year due to his fathers job moving from place to place, and every time they move, his parents both promise it would be the last time. Phil is almost used to the fresh feeling of a new school, but when his father loses his job, he knows it'll be the only school he attends for a while. His appearance to everyone on the first day is a bit overwhelming, as everyone wants to become his friend. they crowd up on him making him feel loved, almost too much. But the only person who doesn't give him attention, as everyone else is doing, is a young boy named dan howell. dan howell is an outcast, who is in love with writing. he doesn't like to show too much emotion, because he's not one for attention, which causes him to throw all of his feelings inside of poems and narrative stories that make him feel as if their is someone behind the paper that is listening to his problems. when phil finally noticed the young writer, he began to become attracted to his appearance. when Dan leaves behind his writing journal in class one day, phil picks it up and his temptations start to take over him and he sinks into the beautiful pieces that were dans writings. phil begins to feel involvement even more, not just with Dan, but as well with his writings. but no one REALLY knows Dan Howell, and his problems, and what he has to deal with mentally, physically, and medically. but what will happen when the lion falls in love with the poet?
