• Commended for Stonewall Book Award (Young Adult) 2024

Overview

"Two track and field athletes find an unexpected but powerful love in this unapologetically blunt and unforgettably real young adult debut novel. Sebastian Villeda is over it. Over his rep. Over his bros. Over being ""Bash the Flash,"" fastest sprinter in South Jersey. His dad is gone, his mom is dead, and his stepfather is clueless. Bash has no idea what he wants out of life--until he meets Sandro. Sandro Miceli is too nice for his own good. The middle child in an always-growing, always-screaming Italian family, Sandro walks around on a broken foot so as to not bother his busy parents. All he wants is to get out and never look back. When fate--in the form of a party that gets busted--brings these two very different boys together, neither of them could have predicted finding a love that they would risk everything for."
