Openly Sam Peter Gulgowski

Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.

After Sam Collier's first love, Pierce, dies tragically, it changes everything. The only person who knew Sam as he truly was is gone.

From the outside, Sam lives a life of privilege, with a famous movie-star mother and great friends, but he's living a lie, and the façade he's built is crumbling fast.

As his fears grow about what his sexuality will bring about for himself, his friends, and his family, Sam can't help but wonder if it would be easier to just continue playing the role he's written for himself?

But still processing the loss of Pierce and learning to live in a world without him, Sam needs to decide how he's to move forward. Does he's sink back within himself, back into the safety of the walls he's so carefully crafted? Or does he confront his fears and live his truth openly in the hopes of letting go and starting over?
