Finding solace in books, movies, and music for the past three years was enough for Peter Klein: seventeen, restless, and more than ready to leave Silver Lake behind. Haunted by the past, he struggled to move forward. Until he meets Mason Teller. After accepting a lift home and agreeing to tutor Mason's five jock friends, including the ever-earnest Shaun Bradshaw, Peter's world turns upside down.
Senior year has a way of pulling him into the swirl of parties, rivalries, and late-night conversations.
But being a closeted gay teen, Peter knows it's a dangerous game he's playing, with his heart on the line. Especially after spending increasingly more time with Mason and Shaun.
Told in sharp, lyrical bursts and grounded in messy, heartfelt realism, this warm, coming-of-age fever dream follows Peter as he navigates emotions he knows all too well, for the second time around. Armed with the humor and bravery all those books and movies established, he is ready to create bonds that are downright impossible to break.
