Told in two voices, Brian and Ezra. Brian keeps to himself, and Ezra is popular. Brian's dad leaves the family and his mother tries to commit suicide. Brian and his younger brother are placed in foster care, which they run away from. Ezra realizes he has a crush on Brian and is worried about him. Ezra contacts Brian and helps him and his brother get to safety with a teacher of theirs. As Ezra deals with his feelings and coming out, Brian is dealing with his family and trying to figure out what will happen to him and his brother.
The characters are deep and real. This is not a glossed over book and I enjoyed seeing the thoughts and interactions.
