About the story

Rumi, Kai and Sam have university work, ambitions and friendships they think they understand. A torchlit kiss makes those certainties harder to maintain. Attraction, family expectations and the ordinary demands of caring for someone pull the three students towards conversations they have been avoiding. Each has a private version of the truth; friendship may require sharing it. A complete, non-explicit coming-of-age novel about queer identity, belonging and learning to be honest with the people closest to you.

What to expect

Three students finding their way through friendship, attraction and honesty.
