SIMO AND LUCA ARE IN LOVE

Luca has loved Simo for as long as he can remember. But confessing? That could ruin everything. And in their tiny, cosier-than-cosy seaside town, there would be nowhere to hide.

Then an anonymous post on the community noticeboard blows his secret wide open – and suddenly, everyone is shipping them hard. Luca and Simo have no choice but to face the truth. Will they risk it all for love – or lose each other for ever?

Get ready for a heart-flipping, swoon-worthy story about friendship, courage and the kind of love that changes everything. Perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Sophie Gonzales.
