This story contains some classic aspects of NA: college setting, main characters coming to terms with identity, lots of angst, struggles with family and carving out their own path. I do not recommend this book to ace spectrum readers. But as their senior year begins, they must decide if they will part ways and return to the dull futures they had planned, or if they will take a risk and leap into a brightly colored future-together.Ī copy was provided by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review Through a summer of art and friendship, Xander and Skylar learn more about each other, themselves, and their feelings for one another. There’s something about the antisocial artist’s refusal to yield that forces Skylar to acknowledge how much his own orchestrated future is killing him slowly…as is the truth about his gray-spectrum sexuality, which he hasn’t dared to speak aloud, even to himself. Xander himself does plenty of damage too. Skylar’s life has been laid out for him since before he was born, but all it takes is one look at Xander’s artwork, and the veneer around him begins to crack. He came to idyllic, Japanese culture-soaked Benten College to hide and make manga, not to be transformed into a corporate clone in the eleventh hour.
