2024 Stonewall Book Award Honor for Young Adult Literature

"A boldly authentic new voice in queer fiction." —Abdi Nazemian, author of Stonewall Honor book Like a Love Story and The Chandler Legacies

Two track and field athletes find an unexpected but powerful love in this unapologetically blunt and unforgettably real YA debut.


Sebastian Villeda is over it. Over his rep. Over his bros. Over being "Bash the Flash," fastest sprinter in South Jersey. His dad is gone, his mom is dead, and his stepfather is clueless. Bash has no idea what he wants out of life. Until he meets Sandro.

Sandro Miceli is too nice for his own good. The middle child in an always-growing, always-screaming Italian family, Sandro walks around on a broken foot to not bother his busy parents. All he wants is to get out and never look back.

When fate—in the form of a party that gets busted—brings these two very different boys together, neither of them could’ve predicted finding a love that they’d risk everything for…

Very cute

This was a very cute and realistic story, a solid read. I feel like I got to know both main characters very well.

One of my top reads of this year

Love the queer YA genre and have read so many over the past few years - I’ve re-read this so many times and absolutely love Bash and Sandro + their journey ❤️ these characters feel so real and relatable when I look back on being a teen. I don’t usually love grittier themes in my YA (usually more romcom fluff) but loved this take + it’s truly romantic and loved the deep foundation of friendship and understanding of the characters
