Thomas isn't dying?at least, not anymore. After collapsing at school and waking up in a hospital bed, he learns he has cancer. But the real ache lives deeper, in his longing for connection, his fear of being unloved, and his inability to name what he truly feels.

Torn between the couple he once called best friends and the boy who kissed him in secret, Thomas drifts between silence and yearning, between honesty and hiding. When the truth about his identity forces its way out, his world cracks open?and maybe, just maybe, something beautiful will come of it.
