Release

　　今天是星期六，正值夏天，雖然17歲的亞當現在還沒有意識到，但他所擁有的一切，將逐漸分崩離析。

　　亞當生活在一個超級保守的基督教家庭，他認為必須隱瞞自己有一個男友以及性生活的秘密。但某天一覺醒來之後一切全變了！他必須面對父母嚴格的眼神，而至今仍忘不了的前男友恩佐，正打算離開他們這個小鎮。亞當不確定他是否能像愛恩佐一樣愛他的新男友利努斯，儘管利努斯比恩佐好上不知幾百倍。

　　禍不單行，亞當的弟弟、好友、工作全捲入麻煩，而且他所住的城鎮正被一樁湖邊殺人案糾纏，更巧的是，當天他剛好去參加在湖畔舉行的一場派對……這是一個關於自我懷疑與自我實現的故事，碰撞、逃離、心碎之外，或許，也充滿了希望。(文/博客來編譯)

　　A raw, darkly funny, and deeply affecting story from New York Times bestselling novelist Patrick Ness about the courage it takes to live your truth—and what happens when the walls we build start coming down

　　Adam Thorn doesn’t know it yet, but today will change his life.

　　Between his religious family, a deeply unpleasant ultimatum from his boss, and his own unrequited love for his sort-of ex, Enzo, it seems as though Adam’s life is falling apart. At least he has two people to keep him sane: his new boyfriend (he does love Linus, doesn’t he?), and his best friend, Angela.

　　But all day long, old memories and new heartaches come crashing together, throwing Adam’s life into chaos. The bindings of his world are coming untied one by one; yet in spite of everything he has to let go, he may also find freedom in the release.

　　This incredible story, in part an homage to Judy Blume’s revolutionary novel Forever, takes its place as a new classic about the intensity of teenage relationships and all the strength it takes to find yourself.
