Zach doesn’t really want to die—he just wants high school to suck a little less. He made a plan. Memorized the train schedule. Even stood on the tracks. But he didn’t go through with it, so now he’s facing senior year with zero friends, maximum awkwardness, and a suicide note still crumpled in his backpack like the world’s worst safety blanket. The last person Zach expects to connect with is brooding loner Parker Reid. But when Parker accidentally discovers Zach’s note, the two discover they have a painful secret in common. They form the Dead Boys Club, and suddenly Zach has an unlikely ally who’s even messier than he is. Between panic attacks and late-night emails, school plays and roadtrips, the two start to figure out that living is different than just surviving. When Parker’s parents threaten to send him away, he and Zach are forced to admit—with the help of a ragtag friend group that neither of them saw coming—that maybe, just maybe, there are things worth sticking around for. This is a young adult romance about the terrifying, life-saving possibility of letting someone in.
