Since Aaron can't stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is. But Aaron can't deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself, despite the tensions their friendship is stirring with his girlfriend and friends.
Aaron's crew notices, and they're not exactly thrilled. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron spends all his time hanging out with this new guy, Thomas. But grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist prevent him from forgetting completely.
With the support of his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he's slowly remembering what that might feel like. In the months after his father's suicide, it's been tough for sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness again-but he's still gunning for it.
