Summary
If they were other people, if this were some other time, Kevin could reach over with his scarred left hand and cup those similar scars on Neil’s cheek until he’s looking back at him. If they were anything but what they are now, Kevin would know what Neil’s mouth tastes like, what noises he makes when he’s kissed.
“Is Neil available?” Nicky’s voice haunts him, the question under his skin like a splinter of wood he can’t dig out.

Summary
Kevin Day has the longest legs Andrew has ever seen.
Whether he’s striding briskly across the unkempt stretch of grass their school calls a yard or hitching them up around Andrew’s hips as they grind together in the back of his car, they’re one of Andrew’s favorite parts of him.
________With the end of their senior year fast approaching, Kevin Day has been sneaking around with Andrew Minyard for months. They both know their time together is limited between Kevin's big dreams of going to Harvard in the fall and Andrew's complete lack of any, but the longer they spend together, the harder it becomes to let go.
Things get even more complicated when the Moriyamas- Kevin's adoptive family- figure out what Kevin has been up to and tighten their hold on him.

Summary
Waste had been a concept his mother had hated when they’d been on the run together. Five million dollars had probably seemed like a lot to most people but Mary had taken them on the run from a man with far-reaching hands and a burning desire to see them dead at his hands.
Fake passports cost money. Hair dye and coloured contacts and items that changed the shapes of their faces just enough to trick security cameras? Cost money. Simply surviving had quickly made their fortune dwindle down to the dregs before Seattle.
Before that though, Neil had learned how to repair holes in his clothes before he’d mastered fractions, had learned how to stretch out everything he owned until there was no other choice but to toss it. Even his contacts had gone through more than their recommended usage when Neil had been unable to get a new pair.
But food? Wasting food was unforgivable.

Summary
“Don’t say no-”
“No.”
“Andrew-” Aaron shakes the paper a little in frustration before composing himself. “It’s a quiz bowl. Basic trivia. It runs for five consecutive weekends and there’s a prize at the end. I need you and your sponge brain to help me win.”
His brother has asked him for many things since Bee had pulled Andrew aside to tell him he had a doppelganger wandering around San Jose, California causing trouble but this might be the dumbest thing Aaron has ever asked him to do.
----
When Andrew Minyard's twin brother signs them both up to participate in the strangest trivia competition known to man, Andrew agrees to participate under the stipulation that he is the sole recipient of this year's grand prize: three hundred and sixty-five days worth of free ice cream from Sweetie's. Instead, Andrew discovers a connection of his own with fellow loner and competition participant, Neil Josten.

Summary
It's the summer after graduation and Andrew's life is on the cusp of falling apart. Aaron is going to college in the fall, Nicky is heading back to the life he left in Germany, and Andrew has to face the fact that he has once again found himself the one being left behind.
It's their last summer together and Andrew has plans to spend it isolated and alone.
His plans change when Andrew rescues a runaway named Neil from being mugged behind Eden's Twilight and their fast, unconventional friendship swiftly turns into something more, especially for Andrew.
As summer winds to a close, Andrew's time to fix his family before they inevitably part ways for good is quickly running out and- unknown to him- so is his time with Neil.

Summary
