I can't even think straight / Dean Atta.

Atta, Dean, (author.).

Summary:

"Kai knows who he is to others: the good grandson, the reliable best friend, the romantic back-up. But he doesn't quite know who he is to himself. Kai wants to come out at school, but his best friend there, Matt, stays closeted for fear of getting kicked out by his conservative parents--and wants Kai to do the same. Kai unhappily agrees, but when a rumor goes around that Kai and Matt are dating, Matt starts acting differently anyway. Kai's other best friend Vass is proudly nonbinary and thinks Matt is a negative influence--though maybe that's just their crush on Kai talking. Kai has always turned to writing to express his emotions, but when his on-page emotions erupt into the real world, he might just be putting the delicate balance of his life at risk"-- Provided by publisher.
