Nandanβs got a plan to make his junior year perfect. Heβs going to make sure all the parties are chill, heβs going to smooth things over with his ex, and heβs going to help his friend Dave get into the popular crowdβwhether Dave wants to or not. The high school social scene might be complicated, but Nandan is sure heβs cracked the code.
Then, one night after a party, Dave and Nandan hook up, which was not part of the planβespecially because Nandan has never been into guys. Still, Daveβs cool, and Nandanβs willing to give it a shot, even if that means everyone starts to see him differently.
But while Dave takes to their new relationship with ease, Nandanβs completely out of his depth. And the more his anxiety grows about what his sexuality means for himself, his friends, and his social life, the more he wonders whether he can just take it all back. But is breaking up with the only person whoβs ever really gotten him worth feeling βnormalβ again?
