Hugo Thorson knows he's gay, but coming out during high school is not part of his plan. His parents are open-minded, but Hugo doesn't want to add more stress for anybody, especially his dad, who is fighting terminal cancer.

At a summer job he meets and befriends Kevin Magnus, and before long, their friendship becomes something more. Kevin knows this will anger his overbearing father, so he decides to protect his secret by dating a girl at school.

Hugo plays along, but it's still hard to watch the two of them together just to make Kevin's homophobic father happy. And when Hugo's father dies, he realizes he can't go on living the lie. He comes clean to Kevin, who decides Hugo's true feelings are more important than his father's expectations.

One fact remains: Kevin and Hugo's relationship must always be hidden behind friendship, lies, girlfriends, or secret kisses. Will they find a sanctuary big enough to hold their feelings?

Adapted as a Young Adult edition of the novel Spark by Posy Roberts, published by Dreamspinner Press, 2013
