Summary
Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.
"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.
He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."
"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.
Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is coming apart at the seams.
Home is no longer a place he wants to return to, his friends are slipping out of reach, and the numbness he carries feels heavier than grief ever did. Paired with a lost friend on an English project, Mike is forced into a quiet, uncomfortable proximity with the past he’s been avoiding.
Their time in the library is strained and careful, marked by silences. Mike doesn’t ask the right questions. He doesn’t look too closely at his own unraveling. He just keeps moving, even as the ground beneath him disappears.
As nights grow colder and choices grow more desperate, Mike finds himself pushed farther from home than he ever meant to go. In a town full of ghosts and half-forgotten dreams, two boys circle each other in the aftermath of everything they’ve lost, both convinced it’s safer not to want too much.
Some lights are meant to stay distant. Others refuse to go out
Or
A group project in which Mike and Will are forced to come together.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.
