Description
In a world where desire and danger share the same pulse, a group of boys with unsettling secrets draws a young narrator into a story of attraction, power, and consequence. As relationships deepen and loyalties are tested, the book follows how fear can masquerade as fascination—and how the truth, once uncovered, demands more than survival. With sharp, lyrical prose and a keen eye for emotional nuance, Jenni Howell explores themes of consent, control, identity, and the ways communities protect—or expose—those who threaten them. Part psychological tension and part coming-of-age reckoning, this novel builds toward a recklessly human choice: whether to look away, or to bite back with the courage to change what comes next.
