Orson Lewis isn't good at anything. His grades are average, he's bad at sports, and he doesn't really like his friends anymore. Compared to his older sister Emerson, he's a total failure. And it doesn't help he's set to attend the same high school as her in the fall. This summer is his last chance to figure himself out.When Liam Beaulieu moves across the street, it feels like a sign. Liam is outgoing, encouraging, and unafraid-everything Orson struggles to be. Through Liam's friendship, Orson dreams this could be the key to unlocking who he truly is. But life has a way of changing fast. By the time school starts, Orson and Liam aren't as close as they were, his friendship group is slowly breaking apart, and his ex-best friend Tyler decides to enter his life again. In the year that follows, Orson must find a way to navigate all of life's changes... without losing himself in the process.

A collection of poetry written during the March 2020 lockdown in Toronto, and edited a year later... under another lockdown. Contemplative and varied, these are the thoughts one has before falling asleep.

In his senior year of high school, Julian has one goal: be invisible. All he wants is to study hard, play basketball, and pretend he’s straight for one more year. Then, he can run away to university and finally tell the world he’s bisexual. And by “the world,” he means everyone but his mom and best friend. That’s two conversations he never wants to have.When he’s talked into auditioning for the school’s production of Hamlet, Julian fears that veering off course will lead to assumptions he’s not ready to face. Despite that, he can’t help but feel a connection to this play. His absent father haunts him like a ghost, his ex is being difficult, and he’s overthinking everything. It’s driving him crazy.The decision to audition leads Julian on an entirely different path. He’s cast as Hamlet, and the boy playing Horatio is unlike anyone Julian has met before. Mysterious and flirtatious, Sky draws Julian in, even though he fears his feelings at the same time. As the two grow closer, Julian begins to let out the secrets he’s never told—the ones that have paralyzed him for years. But what will he do if Sky feels the same way?
