You First A Novel

When sort-of-superhero Levon Ludlow meets Jay Jantzen on a bench beside their college quad, he knows he's met a kindred spirit. Levon can talk to animals, but only animals no one wants to talk to. Jay can manipulate and freeze water, but only thirty-two ounces at a time. They fall in love fast and hard, bonding over their mundane powers and pledging to be content with a small and safe life in Levon's beloved hometown. But thirteen years in, Levon knows that small and safe are no longer enough for his partner. Jay's been on a self-improvement kick, honing and expanding his powers on the sly. And when Jay gets recruited by a super headhunter for a job three thousand miles away, their long-term relationship is tested like never before. With the dubious advice of some irksome animals--and the help of an unexpected new mentor--Levon tries his hardest to boost his own powers, catch up to Jay, and salvage their bond. But the more he learns about himself, the less clear-cut his choices seem. Can they save their relationship--and if they want different things, should they even try? An adult comedy-drama from the author of YA novel HOW TO REPAIR A MECHANICAL HEART, this is a bittersweet story about finding love, finding yourself, and fighting for the future you deserve.
