    Summary

    Eric Matthews has always been the golden boy—popular, confident, and full of charm. But when he’s diagnosed with ADHD, opening up about his struggles leads others to label him as “crazy.”

    Determined to break the stigma, Eric embarks on a messy journey of self-discovery, continuing to share his lovable personality with those around him despite the judgment. When he meets Jack Hunter, their initial tension is undeniable, as Jack challenges Eric in ways he never expected. However, as Eric’s carefree attitude and vulnerability begin to break down Jack’s cold exterior, they start to build an unlikely connection. Through their evolving relationship, Eric learns that embracing who he truly is, rather than hiding behind a mask, is his greatest strength.
