Maybe one day I’ll be ready to become the person I am inside. With a dad who cares about his football team more than me, a mom I miss more than anything, and a best friend who can never know my biggest secret. MORGAN: I know that every birthday should feel like a new beginning, but I’m trapped in this mixed-up body, in this wrong life, in Nowheresville, Tennessee, on repeat. That there’ll be a day, a minute, a second, where it all falls apart and there’s no turning back the clock. But sometimes I worry that Morgan and I won’t be best friends forever. The years where we stuck by each other’s side―as Morgan’s mom died, as he moved across town, as I joined the football team, as my parents started fighting. There was the minute Morgan and I decided we were best friends for life. Six years.ĮRIC: There was the day we were born.

At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don’t really think of myself as ‘ writing humour‘.There are a great many sins in this world, none of them original.Bookstores, like libraries, are the physical manifestation of the wide world’s longest, most thrilling conversation.I try to write the way I read, in order to find out what happens next.
If that sounds kind of mystical, it’s because I really don’t know how it works, but I trust that it does.
