Two different worlds, two lonelinesses. She finds refuge in the silence of the library, he in the sound of the pool and the frivolity of parties. They were brought together by the school program "Mutual Aid," forcing them to see in each other not just nerds and irresponsible bullies, but real people with their own fears and wounds. This is a story about how a vulnerable guy can hide behind the mask of the life of the party, and how a love of books can be an escape from pain. And about how one simple phrase—"I thought we could read together"—can be the beginning of something new.
