A true-life memoir of growing up disabled and transgender.
Sick of being bullied for who he is, sixth-former Eddie Leighton moves town for a fresh start. At his new college in Leicester he makes friends, keeps his secrets safe and is almost happy.
The good times don't last long, however. One of Eddie's new friends is Daryl: a clingy-as-hell, sex-obsessed gay guy. Naively, Eddie thinks he can have ONE casual encounter with Daryl, as "friends with benefits". It's already too late when Eddie realises that this was a mistake. A mistake that will lead to consequences not even he, with all his imagination, could have dreamed of.
Soon Eddie's life is reduced to an endless maze of mind games, where his many weaknesses are exploited at every turn. He doesn't know how or why it came to this. Just that he must find a way out, whatever it takes.
