Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things. She’s my best friend. She’s the center of attention. She is, without fail, the hottest girl in the room. Anytime. Anyplace. She has freckles and dimples and bright green eyes, and with someone else’s energy she’d be adorable. But there is nothing cute about Ivy. She is ice and hot metal and electricity. She is the girl who every lesbian wants, but she has never been with the same person twice. She’s one-of-a-kind but also predictable, so I will always be Andie, her best friend, never Andie, her girlfriend. Then she meets Dot, and Ivy does something even I would have never guessed—she sees Dot another day. And another. And another. Now my world is slowly going up in smoke, and no matter what I do, the flames grow higher. She lit that match without knowing who or what it would burn. Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things. But falling in love wasn’t supposed to be one of them...unless it was with me.

Jonah ha una famiglia difficile, con genitori assenti che faticano a mantenere il loro matrimonio e due fratelli: Will, un neonato che piange incessantemente, e Jesse, di 16 anni. Il legame tra Jonah e Jesse va oltre l'amore fraterno; Jonah è il suo angelo custode, salvandolo quotidianamente da soffocamenti causati da gravi allergie alimentari, in particolare al latte. Con Will ancora in fase di allattamento, Jesse non è mai al sicuro, nemmeno in casa. Gli attacchi allergici di Jesse sono violenti e possono portarlo in ospedale, costringendo Jonah a controllare ogni aspetto della vita di Jesse: ciò che mangia, tocca e respira. Deve anche vigilare affinché la madre non allatti Will e poi tocchi Jesse. Ogni volta che il cellulare squilla, Jonah teme per la vita di Jesse. Vuole essere più forte per sostenere la sua famiglia sull'orlo del baratro e per proteggere un fratello in pericolo. Jonah sente il bisogno di non cedere alla frustrazione verso un neonato che mette a dura prova i nervi di tutti. L'unico modo che conosce per rinforzarsi è rompere e guarire; un osso fratturato può ricrescere più forte e vigoroso.
