Gibsie Gibson has perfected the art of making everyone laugh—but underneath all those jokes lives a guy carrying real pain that nobody gets to see. Claire Biggs has always been different, though; she's the sunshine girl who somehow sees straight through his act, and she's determined to reach the real him hiding beneath the charm. When their friendship starts crossing into dangerous new territory, these two are forced to confront feelings they've been dancing around for years—and decide if they're brave enough to risk everything they've built together. Get ready for an angsty, emotional ride through the Boys of Tommen universe that will have you rooting for these two while clutching your tissues.
Reading soundtrack
Dark indie-pop and alternative R&B for hidden vulnerability meeting irresistible light. Smoldering tension wrapped in humor and charm—the slow burn of best friends crossing into something dangerous. Moody vocals, sultry beats, moments of tenderness breaking through the shadows.
