Fun fact: The religion in this story was inspired by the same cult featured in the Amazon Prime Video documentary Shiny Happy People. Zavien's life revolves around his church's strict rules and expectations for Christian living, but he feels more stuck than ever. With his grades slipping, his best swim times dropping, and the girl he can't stand acting more clingy, his only bright spot is the time he spends with his best friend Caleb.

So why can't he stop thinking about the cute blue-haired boy from school?Jolan openly lives his best life.

When his close friend Tracy starts meddling with his art and love life, he questions whether he should break his one rule: don't date someone who isn't out. So why is his recent masterpiece about the handsome closeted guy with a helluva lot of issues?Even as the boys figure out what's important and navigate high school drama, an unmistakable force draws them closer together. Is the universe trying to tell them a relationship is in their future?The Love We Hide is the third book of the Love Grows in Honest Places series.
