From the author of We Are the Ants comes âanother winnerâ (Booklist, starred review) about a boy who believes the universe is slowly shrinking as the things he remembers are being erased from othersâ memories.
Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since the second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small townâand then Tommy vanished.
More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie.
Ozzie doesnât know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon he suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking.
When Ozzie is paired up with the reclusive and secretive Calvin for a physics project, itâs hard for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy.
But Ozzie knows there isnât much time left to find Tommyâthat once the door closes, it canât be opened again. And heâs determined to keep it open as long as possible.
