Boys Like Daniel

Some Memories Don't Haunt - They SeduceFour years after running from a night that changed everything, Daniel is out, living freely in 1980s Atlanta-and deeply unsatisfied. He's had the hookups, the nightlife, and the liberation he once feared, but none of it feels right. Something is missing. Then Daniel unexpectedly spots Kevin-his old friend and first gay experience-living in the same city. The encounter knocks the breath out of him. Kevin is still handsome, still magnetic, and very much in a relationship with Josh.What begins as a quiet search for closure soon unravels into something deeper and far more complicated. As old feelings resurface-seductive, painful, unfinished-Daniel finds himself drawn toward a past he thought he'd escaped. But the closer he gets to Kevin, the more he is forced to confront a truth he has spent years avoiding: Is he chasing Kevin, or the version of himself he abandoned the night he ran?Set against the heat, nightlife, and changing social landscape of 1980s Atlanta, Boys Like Daniel is an LGBTQ+ literary novel of longing, desire, friendship, and reckoning-and the emotional cost of trying to rewrite the past. Perfect for readers of Call Me by Your Name and Lie with Me, this sequel to Boys Like Kevin explores the versions of ourselves we leave behind and the memories we never quite stop chasing.
