​
A poignant, funny, openhearted novel about coming out, first love, and being your one and only best and true self.
​
Julián Luna has a plan for his life: Graduate. Get into UCLA. And have the chance to move away from Corpus Christi, Texas, and the suffocating expectations of others that have forced Jules into an inauthentic life.
​
Then in one reckless moment, with one impulsive tweet, his plans for a low-key nine months are thrown—literally—out the closet. The downside: the whole world knows, and Jules has to prepare for rejection. The upside: Jules now has the opportunity to be his real self. Then Mat, a cute, empathetic Twitter crush from Los Angeles, slides into Jules's DMs. Jules can tell him anything. Mat makes the world seem conquerable. But when Jules's fears about coming out come true​, the person he needs most is fifteen hundred miles away. Jules has to face them alone.
​
Jules accidentally propelled himself into the life he's always dreamed of. And now that he's in control of it, what he does next is up to him.
