"But if I sit in the rain, maybe I can drown in something other than my own thoughts." // Phil Lester is a dreary boy at the age of sixteen-years-old that is bullied ruthlessly at school. He inflicts red ribbons on his arms, and wears long-sleeved shirts even on the hottest of days. His parents aren't too cool with him and patently show it, abusing him in ways that scar his mind forever. Then the new kid rolls around--Dan Howell, a sarcastic, witty, and all-out happy-go-lucky kid. He makes friends fast, and is soon under the impression that Phil Lester is a kid who backstabbed his friend after talking shit behind their back just under a year ago, leaving Phil to be in the heart of a rumor that is not true by any means. Dan despises Phil until he witnesses the bullying himself--and decides that things may not be as true as they may seem...follow the journey of these two as they unravel secrets, go through the hardships of depression, and become closer with each passing day.
