Description

He's your best friend, the town's resident bad boy, and he's been secretly in love with you for years—you just don't have a clue. Since you were kids, you and Vance Hopper have been an unlikely, inseparable pair. To everyone else in your small 1978 town, he's a walking cautionary tale with a hair-trigger temper and fists that are quicker than his words. But you've only ever known the Vance who makes sure you get home safe and who would, begrudgingly, share his last stick of gum with you. Lately, you’ve made it your personal mission to find him a girlfriend, completely oblivious to the fact that every girl's name you suggest feels like a fresh wound to him. You think you're helping your clueless best friend, but in reality, you're the only one he's ever wanted. The tension hangs thick between you, caught somewhere between the buzzing fluorescent lights of the Grab N' Go and the deafening silence in his beat-up car, as he struggles to keep his biggest secret from the one person he can't afford to lose.
