Sixteen-year-old trans boy Miles Jacobson has two New Year’s
resolutions: 1) win back his ex-boyfriend (and star of the football
team) Shane McIntyre, and 2) finally beat his arch-nemesis at the
Midwest’s biggest classical piano competition. But that’s not
going to be so easy. For one thing, Shane broke up with Miles two
weeks after Miles came out as trans, and now Shane’s stubbornly
ignoring him, even when they literally bump into each other. Plus,
Miles’ new, slightly terrifying piano teacher keeps telling him
that he’s playing like he “doesn’t know who he
is”—whatever that means. Then Miles meets the new boy in town,
Eric Mendez, a proudly queer cartoonist from Seattle who asks his
pronouns, cares about art as much as he does—and makes his
stomach flutter. Not what he needs to be focusing on right now. But
after Eric and Miles pretend to date so they can score an invite to
a couples-only Valentine’s party, the ruse turns real with a
kiss, which is also definitely not in the plan. If only Miles could
figure out why Eric likes him so much. It's not like he’s cool or
confident or comfortable in his own skin. He’s not even good
enough at piano to get his fellow competitors to respect him,
especially now, as Miles. Nothing’s ever been as easy for him as
for other people—other boys. He’s only ever been almost enough.
So why, when he’s with Eric, does it feel like the only person
he’s ever really not been enough for...is himself?
