Tangles Boy by Paula Kosuch

When love messes up a perfect life, there’s no choice but to listen to it

Adolescence is a dangerous whirlwind, but Julio seems to be handling it quite well. He has a good group of friends, gets along well with his parents and, being Derek Graham’s boyfriend, he doesn’t have to worry about being bullied. Everything is in order, right?

What he doesn’t count on is falling in love with one of his best friends, Peter Andersen. Is it worth the risk of an emotional crossroads? His life seems comfortable and trouble-free, yet his heart dictates a different path. He is torn between continuing to hide his feelings and maintain the comfort of his current life, or risk confessing the truth and exploring a relationship that could change everything.

Although fear of rejection and possible complications torment him, Julio knows deep inside that he cannot ignore his feelings. True happiness is only found when you follow your heart, regardless of the consequences. With courage and determination, Julio decides to take the risk and move forward with his feelings for Peter, knowing that the road may be rocky, but true love is worth fighting for.
