    Summary

    Lyney has always lied.

    Whether out of necessity or convenience, the lies have piled around him his whole life. It is a price worth paying to keep those he cares for safe. But when lies become so much a part of one's identity, this is the birth of a true fool. It can be hard to know when to stop - or how. If one were to fall in love, would it be lies that preserve it, or truth?

    And what shall such a fool do when his own lies backfire on him?

    Summary

    Cove knew where home was. It was the two bedroom apartment where he lived for most his life, the city street lights shining from his window nightly, the sound of his mother's humming, and his father's boisterous laughter.

    But when he moves to Sunset bird, he is told to readjust his definition of home. Suddenly, home was this: copy-paste surburban houses all lined up in neat horizontal rows, his father's lonely footsteps ambling around the house, and his mother's weekly phone calls.

    This is not the home Cove has known for all his life and he refused to let this sadder version be it's replacement. So of course, he does what a rational, wise eight year old boy would do in his situation: he runs away.

     

    In another life, he runs to cry on a poppy hill and finds his soulmate.

     

    In this life, things get much more complicated than that.

    Summary

    Jamie has always found herself looking to Cove with hope, ever since that first day she found him on Poppy Hill. When along the line did that hope turn into something so desperate, so potentially dangerous to the friendship they've built?

    How will she know when that longing becomes strong enough to take the risk of ruining their relationship? Or should she resign herself to always coveting that which she can never have?

    Covet, she thinks, is the perfect description- so close to Cove, yet never quite close enough.
