Ben survived freshman year of college, but heβs 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 Dylanβs been acting weird for weeks. Benβs only real bright spot is his writing partner Mario, whoβs been giving him a lot of Spanish lessons and even more kisses. Marioβs big Hollywood dreams make Ben start to dream biggerβand the choices he makes now could be the key to reshaping his future. So why canβt 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 worldβs 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 itβs no big deal when his ex-boyfriend Ben stumbles back into the picture. And itβs definitely fine that Benβs blissfully happy with some mystery boy. First loves are special, but itβs way too late for what-ifs. Right?
Even as the boys try to shake off the past, they keep running into each other in the present. Is this the universe trying to tell them thereβs a do-over in their future?
