Synopsis:

 

A bold, groundbreaking novel about coming out, coming into your own, and coming apart.

Vanilla and Hunter have been dating since seventh grade.

They came out together, navigated middle school together, and became that couple in high school that everyone always sees as a couple.

There are complications and confusions, for sure. But most of all, they love each other.

As high school goes, though, and as their relationship deepens, some cracks begin to show.

Hunter thinks they should be having sex. Vanilla isn't so sure.

Hunter doesn't mind hanging out with loud, obnoxious friends. Vanilla would rather avoid them.

If they're becoming different people, can they be the same couple?

Falling in love is hard. Staying in love is harder.

• an emotionally raw novel written entirely in verse
