Summary
Michael Sterling disappeared from his Maine town five years ago. Everyone assumed he was kidnapped. The truth is worse - he ran away and found the life he always dreamed of.
Now, at seventeen, he’s Sean Woodhouse. And he’s come “home”, to the last place he wants to ever be, to claim the small inheritance his grandparents promised him when he graduated high school, all so he can save Trip, the boy he developed an intense and complicated relationship with while he was away.
Sean has changed, but so has his old town and everyone in it. And knowing who he is and where he belongs is more confusing than ever. As his careful plans begin to crumble, so does everything he’s believed about his idyllic other life.
Critic reviews
"This is a gorgeous examination of the painful and delicate connections formed in the midst of trauma and desperation. A caustic read in many ways, but one that will resonate with readers across a range of experiences and backgrounds." (Booklist)
“This is a quietly intense novel about friendship, love, and what it means to be a family.... Hand to fans of Adam Silvera’s books and Carrie Mesrobian’s Cut Both Ways.” (School Library Journal)
"One young man coming to terms with who he was, who he is, and particularly, with whom he wants to be romantically. Though secondary characters take a backseat to Sean’s self-discovery, brief glimpses of their backgrounds are enough to satisfy the reader. The book’s idyllic resolution will appeal to fans of romance. Hand this dramatic coming-of-age tale to introspective teens seeking a contemporary puzzle." (VOYA)
