August never wanted to fall apart. His whole life, he dreamt of living the normal teenage life. He just wanted to feel something-anything-outside of his numbing existence.
Caught between the weight of his own thoughts and the pressure to grow up, he's spent his entire high school career simply trying to get by. But as the last few months of senior year begin, he's hit with the realization that everything is ending. With time running out, he tries to chase the teenage dream he feels he missed.
This is a raw, emotional whirlwind of a coming-of-age story about mental health, self-identity, social isolation, and the looming pressure of adulthood. A story that captures the fleeting, fragile feeling of the final months of high school-and the quiet battles no one sees.
