   Summary

   When Louis fulfilled his dream of signing a record deal, he didn’t realise it would feel so much like signing away his soul. Now, he’s paying the price by tearing himself in two: the famous Louis who gets to live out his popstar fantasy while hiding the biggest part of himself, and the real Louis who has found the man of his dreams, whose name he wants to scream from the rooftops, but has been silenced. When everything around them seems to try to tear them apart, Louis and Harry must cling to one another to stay afloat as they try to navigate their way through the shark-infested waters of the entertainment industry, making many mistakes as they go.
