From the back cover

Alex has spent his life in the shadow of his frail younger brother, Leo, whose name means joy while his own means to yield. Everyone dotes on Leo, and Alex learned to be sharp and unruly just to keep a sliver of what is his. Only Quinn, his childhood friend, stood by him for ten years, enduring every tossed flower and cold word.

Then Alex finds white bellflowers on Leo's bedside table, and a pink envelope in Quinn's textbook written in Leo's hand, asking for a single white bellflower in return. Quinn insists the flowers were meant for Alex and that Leo bought them himself, and she urges him to wait until after exams. But when Alex returns for his water bottle, he overhears Leo's soft, careful words to Quinn, and her gentle defense of him.

Everyone has always told Alex to give way. Now the one person who never did may be slipping toward Leo, and Alex must decide how much he is willing to swallow.
