Book Overview

Liam Hartley has just turned sixteen and is struggling with his sexual orientation. He meets Cody Williams, a bisexual transfer student, and Cody shows him that what he feels is normal, but they agree to keep their budding relationship under wraps due to the extreme homophobia throughout the conservative small town. They find their own little hideaway where they can intimately explore each other. Cody hides their relationship by platonically dating a cheerleader, much to Liam's dismay. The jealousy, secrets, and stress of dealing with hateful messages coming from religious bigots push Liam to the breaking point, and he turns to cutting himself. Things go from bad to worse when the rest of the school finds out Liam and Cody are more than friends. Even if they can get through this difficult time, Cody's family will soon be moving back to the city, and Liam knows his chances of standing alone against the rest of the town aren't good. Though there might be a glimmer of hope in Liam's future, he'll have to travel a dark road to reach it.
