A powerful story about the fierce love of friendship, and finding the courage to love and accept yourself. Elissa Grossell Dickey, author of The Speed of Light
When twenty-five-year-old Kai Larssen agrees to pose as his best friend Mariah's date at a family gathering, he doesn't expect to fall-hard-for her twin brother, Ray. Anxious, magnetic, and achingly off-limits, Ray is everything Kai has ever wanted. But coming out to Ray means risking Mariah's privacy-and their friendship.
Back in New York, Kai and Ray grow closer, and Kai finds himself trapped in a tangle of half-truths and unspoken feelings. As the lies pile up, Kai must decide: is love worth the cost of betrayal?
Told in luminous prose, We Are Made of Scars & Starlight is a tender, heartbreaking novella about mental health, disability, and queer desire in the heart of the modern city. Poignant and full of hope, it's a story of self-discovery, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be seen.
