Moving to L.A. might be Santi's last chance at a fresh start after years of downward spiraling which began with his mother's death and culminated in being ghosted by his best (and only) friend. All he has to do is put in the effort with marching band, unfortunately his line leader takes one look at him and proclaims that Santi doesn't have what it takes. Santi is irresistibly drawn to Suwa, but can't help but put his foot in his mouth around him.

This is a beautiful story about two boys who have been through a lot, and who find each other, and then keep finding each other. This book repeatedly crushed and put my heart back together, and I am in awe of Lio Min's gorgeous writing and the care they've taken in bringing Santi and Suwa to life.
