A perfect boy. A hidden secret. A shattering sacrifice.

Sixteen-year-old Owen has plenty of issues - crippling anxiety, manic depression, reckless behavior. What he doesn't have is friends. He doesn't like people very much, and as far as he can tell, the feeling is mutual.

Everything changes when a new family moves into the house next door. Their son Aidan is everything Owen isn't: he's effortlessly charming, annoyingly optimistic, and he can fix anything from cars to computers to a really nice baked lemon-butter salmon.

Drawn out of his shell, Owen falls for Aidan head over heels, but something is off. Owen knows better than to trust something that seems too good to be true. As he keeps digging, he unearths a conspiracy that challenges everything he thought he knew about Aidan, about love, and about what it means to be human.

As the truth finally unravels, Owen is left with one impossible task: to do the unthinkable to save the boy he loves.

Perfect Boy is a Young Adult sci-fi romance that will leave you asking existential questions about life, love, and the algorithm inside your head.

This novel contains depictions of: violence and gore, strong language, death and loss, mental health struggles (including anxiety, depression, and self-harm references), and non-explicit teen intimacy. Reader discretion is advised.
