Ben survived freshman year of college, but heâs feeling more stuck than ever. His classes are a slog, his part-time job working with his father is even worse, and his best friend Dylanâs been acting weird for weeks. Benâs only real bright spot is his writing partner Mario, whoâs been giving him a lot of Spanish lessons and even more kisses. Marioâs big Hollywood dreams make Ben start to dream biggerâand the choices he makes now could be the key to reshaping his future. So why canât he stop thinking about a certain boy from his past?
Arthur is back in New York City for the first time in two years, ready to take the theater world by a storm as the worldâs best . . . intern to the assistant of an off-off-Broadway director. Of course, it sucks to be spending the summer apart from his sweet, reliable boyfriend, Mikey, but he knows their relationship is strong enough to weather the distance. Which is why itâs no big deal when his ex-boyfriend Ben stumbles back into the picture. And itâs definitely fine that Benâs blissfully happy with some mystery boy. First loves are special, but itâs way too late for what-ifs. Right?
