by Nora Fares (Author)
This is not a story about happiness. It's about love-and though people often think those two go hand in hand, this time they don't.
A sprawling childhood under the golden Southern Californian sun. A friendship that could be tested and tried and true. And a horrible, thoughtless act that would change everything forever.
Patrick Garcia has been best friends with Asher Kline since the first day of preschool. Thick as thieves, and twice as wicked, the boys developed their own secret language, archiving all their memories in the playgrounds and beaches and bedrooms that spanned their lives. First love is scary for Patrick, but he never had any choice in the matter; he loved Asher from the moment they met. Asher is the golden child, a hopelessly beautiful boy who shone like the sun-and Patrick? Often, he feels like a shadow.
But on the darkest nights, even the moon outshines the sun.
Based loosely on Homer's poem, The Iliad, this gay romantic tragedy novella is one that could very well tear your heart out. Reader, you have been warned.
