Boys Like Daniel - Paperback

by D. J. Ciccarello (Author)

Some Memories Don't Haunt - They Seduce

Four years after running from a night that changed everything, Daniel is out, living freely in Atlanta-and deeply unsatisfied. He's had the hookups, the nightlife, the liberation he once feared-but none of it feels right. Something's missing.

When Daniel unexpectedly spots Kevin-his old friend and first gay experience-living in the same city, the moment knocks the breath out of him. Kevin is still handsome, still magnetic, and very much in a relationship with Josh. What starts as a quiet search for closure unravels into something deeper and far more complicated. As old feelings resurface-seductive, painful, unfinished-Daniel is forced to confront a truth he's long avoided.

Boys Like Daniel is a LGBTQ+ literary fiction novel of longing, reckoning, and the emotional cost of rewriting the past. This sequel to Boys Like Kevin unfolds against the heat and hush of 1980s Atlanta, exploring the versions of ourselves we leave behind and the echo of memories we never stop chasing.
