Nathaniel Conti doesn't feel real when he's alone. Maybe that's why he has a reputation as atroublemaker--he'll do just about anything to have everyone's eyes on him. But things are about to change. Nathaniel is in his first year of college, flung into new circumstances withnew people to meet. There are public speaking classmates, lacrosse players--and then there's theaspiring photographer who asks Nathaniel to be their model, who's interested in more than what's onthe surface. Nathaniel feels like he's moving forward--until a former friend shows up, someone whoreminds him of habits and hurts he thought he'd left behind. From the author of Icebreaker comes a deeply felt, gorgeously told story about confronting what'sburied, coming into your own, and finding your people.
