Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.
Pierce was Sam Collier's first love-the only person who truly knew him.
And now he's gone. Without Pierce, Sam is left behind in a world that doesn't know the real him. On the surface, he has everything-his mother is a famous actress, his friends are great, his life looks effortless. But the truth is, he's spent years hiding, terrified of what coming out could mean for his family, his friendships, and his future. Then he meets someone else like him-but this someone isn't afraid to be seen. And for the first time, Sam sees a different possibility. A different future. A way out of the shadows and into the light. But stepping forward means letting go of the walls he's so carefully built. And once they fall, there's no turning back. As grief and new love pull him in different directions, Sam has to make a choice: keep pretending, or take the terrifying leap into the unknown.
