From the Stonewall Award-winning author of The Black Flamingo comes a romantic coming-of-age novel in verse about pursuing the love we know we deserve. The ideal next read for fans of Kacen Callender, Elizabeth Acevedo, and Becky Albertalli.
Mack is a hopeless romantic—likely a hazard of growing up on film sets thanks to his father’s job. He has had a crush on Karim for as long as he can remember, and he can’t believe it when gorgeous, popular Karim seems into him too.
But when Mack’s father takes on a new directing project in Scotland, Mack has to move away, and he soon discovers how painful long-distance relationships can be. It’s awful to be so far away from Karim, and it’s made worse by the fact that Karim can be so hard to read.
Then Mack meets actor Finlay on set, and the world turns upside down again. Fin seems fearless, and his confidence could just be infectious.
Award-winning author Dean Atta crafts a beautifully nuanced and revelatory story in verse about the exquisite highs and lows of first love and self-discovery.
What happens when your heart is pulled in two directions?
- A Heartfelt Love Triangle: Torn between his long-time secret crush in London and a charming new actor in Scotland, Mack must figure out where his heart truly belongs.
- Long-Distance Relationship: An honest look at the challenges of loving someone from afar, filled with all the miscommunication, jealousy, and hope that comes with it.
- A Lyrical Novel in Verse: Written with the emotional honesty and rhythm of poetry, this story captures the soaring highs and tender lows of first love.
- LGBTQ+ Coming of Age: A moving journey about identity, choosing the love you deserve, and finding the courage to speak your truth.
