He can’t help the way he is, and he sure wishes someone would accept him for it. So when Daniel’s big heart leads him to rescue a dog that’s about to be euthanized, he’s relieved to find Ash willing to help. The two bond over their four-legged secret. When they start catching feelings for each other, however, things go from cute to complicated. Daniel thinks Ash is all girl . . . what happens when he finds out there’s more to Ash’s story With so much on the line truth, identity, acceptance, and the life of an adorable pup named Chewbarka will Ash and Daniel forever feel at war with themselves because they don’t fit into the world’s binaries Or will their friendship help them embrace the beauty of living in between
