Publisher's Synopsis
Late Fall, 1999
Quentin: I used to have friends. I used to be popular. I was the safe kind of gay: I wore the right clothes. I threw the right parties. I played the right Will to the girls' Grace. But I started dating Shawn, and I crossed the line between prep and skater, safe and dangerous, popular and loser.
My former friends make life a living hell . . . but when I was one of them, I played along with their games. Now I'm the target.
I'm slipping away.
Shawn can't save me.
But I'm not sure I want to be saved.
★
Shawn: I'm used to being a loser. Quentin's not.
Quentin's friends turn their backs to him. They refuse to work with him. They smack him around. Every time he breaks a little bit more. What happened to the kid who shouted down the most popular kid in school? Where's the guy who squared off with the vice principal? Every day, he drifts farther away. Every day, he becomes more of a ghost.
Quentin's slipping away.
I can't save him.
But I have to try.
