Summary
Macklin Celebrini seems to have everything going for him. He has a future in hockey that everyone is watching closely. But behind the pressure of expectations and the spotlight, Mack struggles with intense anxiety and panic attacks that he tries hard to hide from everyone around him.
Will is different from most people in Macklin’s life. He notices the thing most people miss: the shaking hands, the zoning out, when Mack disappears when things become overwhelming. Instead of pushing him away or treating him like he’s fragile, Will simply stays.
As their friendship grows, Will becomes the person Macklin trusts most, helping him through panic attacks, fears, and the pressure of his dreams.
But what happens when that friendship starts turning into something more? Will Mack and Will make it through the difficulties of hiding a relationship from a homophobic hockey culture?
