Big decisions and messy relationships. It’s all part of life for Kai. A must-read queer coming of age story for fans of Sarah Crossan and Sex Education, written in verse by Stonewall-Award-winning, Carnegie-shortlisted author Dean Atta.

Kai is going into a new school year with some big decisions to make: when to come out as gay, what he wants to do in life and who he wants to date. Is it any wonder he can’t think straight? Best friends Matt and Kai made a promise to each other to stay in the closet. Matt isn’t ready to come out, but Kai wants nothing more than to write his own story. He decides it’s time to break his promise and show his true self to the world.

Now out and proud, Kai starts dating super-hot Obi, but it’s far from smooth sailing. Is love closer to home than Kai realises?
