\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moved reluctantly from California to Utah,
shutting his expanded heart back into the closet.
Just one year till graduation and escape from the land of Mormon<\/a> like Mom did,
until he meets the right guy….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drafting a novel during a single high school semester can’t be impossible, right? After all, Sebastian did it last year and sold his book!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not so simple, Tanner and best friend Amber discover, even when Sebastian pops in from BYU to mentor their class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanner’s story begins to revolve around a just-older literary adviser who just happens to look like Sebastian and be adorable and perhaps not out of the bisexual teen’s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy enough for Sebastian to read between the lines of Tanner’s manuscript, not so easy for him to react to Tanner’s feelings, but he does!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four months until Tanner’s final draft is due, four months till Sebastian leaves on book tour then his two-year LDS mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four months is long enough to draft a novel, but not long enough to change an entire culture, and Sebastian is so torn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religion, love\u2026 when do you know what’s right, what’s best for you?
