"Chase Arthur is a budding animator and hopeless romantic obsessed with Disney films and finding his true love, but he's plagued with the belief that he's not enough for anyone: he's recovering from an eating disorder, suffers from body dysmorphia, and can't quite figure out his gender identity. When Chase starts his freshman year of college, he has to navigate being away from home and missing his sister, finding his squad, and contending with an ex-best friend over a mentorship. Chase then meets Jack Reid, a pragmatic poet who worships words and longs to experience life outside of his sheltered world. But Chase throws everything into question for Jack, who is still discovering his sexual identity. Having grown up in a close-knit conservative family, Jack internalized a lot of homophobia from his parents and childhood best friend. When both his parents and best friend visit campus, it threatens to destroy their relationship. Chase will have to learn to love-- and be enough for-- himself, while discovering what it means to truly live"--, adapted from Amazon
