The Fall Between: A Transgender Coming-of-Age Novel About First Love, College, and the Cost of Hiding
College was supposed to be the clean start. New campus, new friends, a new ID in his wallet with a name that finally fits. And for a while, it works. He finds a group that doesn't look at him twice. He walks into rooms and gets to be exactly who he knows he is. He learns, for the first time, what it feels like to exhale.
Then he meets Amber.
She's warm and funny and she kisses him like he's the easiest thing in the world to love. The problem is, there's a version of Alex she hasn't met yet, the one on his old driver's license, the one in the photographs his mother keeps on the mantel, the one he's been quietly leaving behind. Every late-night phone call, every stolen morning, every whispered I love you buys him more of her, and more to lose.
When the secret Alex has been carrying finally breaks loose, he'll have to decide if the life he's been building can survive being real.
The Fall Between is Book Two of The Alex Series — the story of a trans boy learning that being seen and being loved aren't the same thing, and that sometimes the person you can't keep lying to is yourself. A raw, intimate New Adult coming-of-age novel for readers of Felix Ever After, I Wish You All the Best, and Only This Beautiful Moment.
