As far as Clay Carpenter is concerned, his abusive relationship with food is the best thing heβs got going. When a good friend starts kicking his ass into gear, Clay is forced to reexamine everything he learned about food and loveβand thatβs right when he meets troubled graduate student, Dane Hayes.
Dane Hayes doesnβt do the whole monogamy thing, but the minute he meets Clay Carpenter, heβs doing the friend thing in spades. The snarky, scruffy bastard not only gets Dane's wacky sense of humor, he also accepts the things Dane canβt controlβlike the bipolar disorder Dane has been trying to manage for the past six years.
Dane is hoping for more than friendship, and Clay is looking at him with longing that isn't platonic. Theyβre both positive theyβre bad at relationships, but with the help of forbidden desserts and new medication regimens, they prove outstanding at being with each other. But can they turn their friendship into the love neither of them has dared to hope for?
