Ok ok, I'll stop torturing everyone with the Ashley and Alex stunts! Maybe... But honestly, I love the way these two personalities play off each other. Alex the benevolent protector, Ashley the confident go-getter. I could make an entire series off the misadventures of Ashley and Alex as she helps Alex discover his sexuality... But so many more characters to get to, so maybe just a chapter. Watch out gays, here we come!
It’s the start of his senior year and Alex is one of the most popular guys at school. Despite excelling in both academics and sports, Alex fears a big secret he’s been keeping could threaten to upend his social status and jeopardize all his friendships. Will Alex be able to stay calm and keep things "operating normally," or will he slip up and reveal the truth he’s been hiding?
Wear Your Heart Out tells a series of parallel storylines in a non-linear fashion and follows a diverse cast of characters going through their final years in high school. Each chapter is told from the perspectives of characters encountered in and around Alex’s life to highlight how we each experience the same circumstances in vastly different ways. At its core, this coming-of-age story is about hope, optimism, and love, but still must address some of the hardships faced by each character to give buoyancy to their perseverance. The story is about representation and features several LGBTQ+ characters and themes.
