Be True

By Abigail de Niverville

Will Borodin is completely on his own. As the signature "gay kid" of the school, no one but his friend Julian has ever truly been on his side. Now, he and Julian aren't speaking anymore, and it's entirely Will's fault. To make things worse, his crush has been stringing him along at every chance he gets. With prom and graduation looming on the horizon, the fairytale ending Will's always dreamed of is slipping away.

Enter Jesse Gardner. Will has known Jesse for a long time, but they've never been friends. He's too cool, too aloof, and entirely unapproachable. But when Jesse takes a sudden interest in him, Will decides to go against his better judgement, just to see what might happen.

But there are still many hard truths about himself he needs to face. In the coming months, will he finally get the ending he wants, or will he make everything fall apart again?

Set directly after the events of I Knew Him, Be True is a companion novel that can be read as a sequel or a standalone.
