Secrets. Their weight can be crushing, but their release can change everything—and not necessarily for the better. Ian is no stranger to secrets. Being a gay teen in a backwater southern town, Ian must keep his orientation under wraps, especially since he spends a lot of time with his hands all over members of the same sex, pinning their sweaty, hard bodies to the wrestling mat. When he's trying not to stare at teammates in the locker room, he's busy hiding another secret—that he starves himself so he doesn't get bumped to the next weight class. Enter Julian Yang, an Adonis with mesmerizing looks and punk rocker style. Befriending the flirtatious artist not only raises suspicion among his classmates, but leaves Ian terrified he'll give in to the desires he's fought to ignore. As secrets come to light, Ian's world crumbles. Disowned, defriended, and deserted by nearly everyone, Ian's one-way ticket out of town is revoked, leaving him trapped in a world he hates—and one that hates him back.
