Eighteen-year-old Tobias Gavin is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. For many years, the what-ifs of coming out have swirled around his head, so he has chosen to live a lie to keep from disrupting the "normal" life he has created with his family and friends. That is until he meets Gareth David the day he enrolls for his first semester as a college student. He feels an immediate connection with Gareth...a connection that pushes Tobias to question the way he has been living his life. When Gareth coincidentally becomes, Tobias's History professor, Tobias is forced to confront his feelings and confront the universe. Tobias must come to terms his depression, anxiety, heartbreak, and his sexuality before he can even begin to heal his wounds. He believes that everything happens for a reason, but he learns that some experiences are meant to teach even if they cause heartbreak. Once he comes to terms with himself, he might find his knight in shining armor. Tobias must learn to trust himself and those around him if he wants to find happiness.

I just want to preface this by saying I loved the novel! The only thing I didn't like was that the main character would get kind of whiny at some points. Otherwise, the writing was perfect for the age and POV. I long to have a friend like Matti. I have harsh words for a certain character. Overall though? Wonderful debut from Scott!
