Heartstopper meets Red, White, & Royal Blue in a college football (the real football) YA contemporary romance with all the Mexican-American vibes to be expected from Jonny Garza Villa, author of Fifteen Hundred Miles From the Sun.
Gabriel Piña knows who he is: a college goalkeeper, an aspiring professional athlete, and definitely straight. He's starting his freshman year at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a lot of eyes on him and even more potential, but he's got this. Nothing will have him straying off the path to greatness.
That is, until Vale, a philosophy classmate (who Gabi might've kissed very briefly, and only once, to help him out at a party) volunteers to tutor him. As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi begins to recognize something about himself: that maybe he's not as straight as he thought he was. And a larger and much more brooding realization...
