Two boys are starting at a new school.

Jules is just figuring out what it means to be gay and hasn’t totally decided whether he wants to be out at his new school. His parents and friends have all kinds of opinions, but for his part, Jules just wants to make the basketball team and keep his head down.

Jack is trying to start over after a best friend break-up. He followed his actor father clear across the country to LA, but he's also totally ready to leave his past behind. Maybe this new school where no one knows him is exactly what he needs.

When the two boys meet, the sparks are undeniable. But then a video surfaces linking Jack to a pair of popular transgender vloggers, and the revelations about Jack’s past thrust both Jack and Jules into the spotlight they’ve been trying to avoid. Suddenly both boys have a choice to make—between lying low where it’s easier or following their hearts.

Evelyn Q. ★★★★★

Jules’s internal struggle about coming out felt so real and relatable—it’s rare to see that quiet, honest uncertainty captured this well. The way his parents and friends react added just the right depth without overdoing it.

Riley P. ★★★★★

This book really nails the messiness of starting over—the anxiety of walking into a new school when you're still figuring yourself out hit close to home. I loved how Jules’ internal conflict about coming out felt so real, not dramatized or over-simplified.

Lily ★★★★★

The way Jules’ friend group handles his confusion feels so real, not like a TV drama solution. The first-day-of-school tension and those awkward cafeteria moments made me feel like I was back in high school. Really glad I picked this up for a fresh, honest take on figuring yourself out.
