Description
Inspired by true events a thoughtful, timely, and emotionally compelling story about coming of age, coming out, and coming into your own
So much of who I was had to be hidden. I wondered how it would feel to let that part of me be on full display. Maybe I d be given the chance to feel. To forget. Or even to breathe
For most sixteen year olds, life is all about friends, fun, and family. But for Matt Franco, its different. Because Matt and his family are undocumented immigrants like many other Brazilian emigres in his town. And that means he cant get a job, he cant get a drivers license, and as for college? Get real. But Matt is also carrying a burden much closer to his own heart.
Matt is gay.
And right now, hes the only one who knows it. But that changes when handsome, kind-eyed, and charming transfer student James Alberte walks into class. Because James isnt just some queer teen crush. Hes everything Matt could ask for and its James love, strength, and support that helps Matt finally come out to the world.
Unfortunately, love doesnt necessarily make Matts situation any easier. Hes still stranded by his immigrant status, with a future that seems headed for a dead end. And if hes ever going to be happy, Matt will have to decide what he wants, where hes headed and who he is at heart.
It wont be simple. And it certainly wont be easy.
But when it comes to life, love, and everything in between, what is?
The author of The Whispers of the Fallen and Henderbell series offers a moving, heartfelt story perfect for fans of Adam Silveras More Happy Than Not.
