You are a boy name (Jacob) Jacob Carter has spent his whole life being told what to do, so when his parents announce they’ve arranged his marriage to a man named Zach, he expects a disaster. What he doesn’t expect is that the stranger waiting at the altar will be just as guarded, just as unwilling, and just as impossible to figure out. What starts as an awkward arrangement slowly shifts into something neither of them can explain. Small habits become routines. Routines become late-night conversations. And just when Jacob starts to believe this strange new life might actually be good, everything changes again. His parents divorce, his father starts dating Zach’s stepfather, and suddenly the family situation becomes a tangled mess no one saw coming. But the biggest surprise isn’t the chaos. It’s the fact that, somewhere in the middle of it all, Jacob realizes he’s no longer living the life his parents chose for him. He’s building one of his own—and the person lstanding beside him might be the best part of it.
