A charming queer YA second chance sports romance between two gay football players living in small town Texas. Julian and Elijah were best friends growing up and things were headed towards something more when Elijah suddenly moved away with no explanation. Two years later Elijah's back just in time for the homecoming season. Can these two former friends repair their friendship and resolve past hurts? I found the book a litle heavy on Julian's obssession with avoiding the homecoming prank but did enjoy the backstory about the two boys' fathers and finding out the reason why Elijah moved away. Recommended for fans of Becky Albertalli and good on audio.
