A gay romance à la Romeo and Juliet by the acclaimed author of the international bestseller Blue Is the Warmest Color.

Ever since coming out of the closet, Khalil has been the laughingstock of his fellow middle schoolers. But he can count on unstinting support from his family and two besties, Aïssata and Sacha. What other people think of him won't get him down! Things are different for Isaël. Born into a traditionalist and homophobic family, he dates a girl and seeks validation from other boys by joining in mocking Khalil. But whom are you really trying to convince when you feel like an impostor in your own life?
