Inspired by Judy Blume`s Forever and Virginia Woolf`s Mrs. Dalloway, this novel that Andrew Smith calls 'beautiful, enchanting, [and] exquisitely written' is a new classic about teenage relationships, self-acceptance--and what happens when the walls we build start coming down. A Kirkus Best Book of 2017! Adam Thorn doesn`t know it yet, but today will change his life. Between his religious family, a deeply unpleasant ultimatum from his boss, and his own unrequited love for his sort-of ex, Enzo, it seems as though Adam`s life is falling apart. At least he has two people to keep him sane: his new boyfriend (he does love Linus, doesn`t he?) and his best friend, Angela. But all day long, old memories and new heartaches come crashing together, throwing Adam`s life into chaos. The bindings of his world are coming untied one by one; yet in spite of everything he has to let go, he may also find freedom in the release. From the New York Times bestselling author of A Monster Calls comes a raw, darkly funny, and deeply affecting story about the courage it takes to live your truth.
