Years after his parents' unexpected deaths, freshman Julian is reunited with senior Adam, his former foster brother. In alternating chapters, Adam invites painfully shy Julian into his friend group, and Julian struggles to accept his kindness while privately suffering under an increasingly abusive uncle. This tender and moving story highlights a unique friendship between two likable and dynamic young male protagonists.
